Patients with orthostatic tremor (OT) can be classified as having βprimary OT,β with or without postural arm tremor but no other abnormal neurological features, or βOT plus.β We describe a patient with OT, with postural tremor of the arms and restless legs syndrome (RLS), who developed features typical of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
