Orthostatic tremor in progressive supranuclear palsy.
Patients with orthostatic tremor (OT) can be classified as having "primary OT," with or without postural arm tremor but no other abnormal neurological features, or "OT plus." 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). PSP can be accompanied by OT.
