Humans Middle Aged Male Treatment Outcome Tremor - diagnosis Neuromuscular Agents - therapeutic use Tremor - physiopathology Botulinum Toxins, Type A - therapeutic use Dystonic Disorders - drug therapy Dystonic Disorders - diagnosis Electromyography Tremor - drug therapy Dystonic Disorders - physiopathology
Primary writing tremor (PWT) is a rare motor disorder of unknown etiology, where tremor is elicited primarily or exclusively with writing. We describe a patient with PWT, present a video before and after successful treatment with botulinum toxin type A injections, and discuss a possible underlying dystonic mechanism.
