Thalamic tremor: case reports and implications of the tremor-generating mechanism.
We report two patients with unilateral resting and postural tremor of the upper limb as a delayed manifestation of thalamic stroke. Neuroradiologic examination showed a lesion in the posterolateral thalamic region in both patients, but with no obvious involvement of the brainstem, the cerebellum, or the cerebellar outflow tract to the thalamic ventrolateral nucleus.
