Resting tremor in alcoholic brain disease.
Two patients with signs of alcoholic brain disease of the Wernicke-Korsakoff type were found to have an unusual movement disorder manifested basically as a resting tremor. Electrographic recording showed that the tremor wave comprised multiple elements, though the rate of the basic tremor was stable. Though the tremor was qualitatively similar to documented rubral tremor, a mesencephalic lesion could be defined in only 1 patient.
