摘要: Background: Orthostatic tremor is an uncommon disorder manifest by high frequency, low amplitude leg upon weight bearing. Treatment with oral agents inconsistent and usually not satisfactory. Methods: We implanted bilateral ventralis intermedius nuclei deep brain stimulators into 82-year-old male refractory orthostatic tremor. Results: The patient had a marked subjective objective improvement in arm tremor, mainly manifested improved ability to stand. Discussion: Bilateral thalamic stimulation may be considered cases of
