title: Topiramate Treatment of Essential Tremor in a Patient with Cognitive Deficits.
abstract: This case report demonstrates a satisfying response to topiramate in a 79-year-old patient with disabling essential tremor in whom propranolol as well as primidone had to be discontinued due to severe side effects. After 28 months of topiramate treatment, a clear decline in Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) could be observed, stressing the use of care in prescribing topiramate in elderly patients.
