title: Essential tremor.
abstract: Essential tremor (ET) is among the most common neurologic disorders. The traditional view of this disorder as a benign, monosymptomatic, familial condition is being replaced by a more complex view of ET as perhaps a family of diseases with etiologic, clinical, and pathologic heterogeneity. This article discusses the major clinical features of ET and approaches to its diagnosis and treatment.
