Abstract

We studied seven members of a family who had different types of movement disorders: Two had typical essential tremor, two (twins) had typical writer's cramp, one had both essential tremor and writer's cramp, one had primary writing tremor, and one (deceased) had uncharacterized tremor. This appears to be the first report of writer's cramp in twins and in so many family members. This family links together primary writing tremor, essential tremor, and writer's cramp and may help resolve the apparent controversy about the relationship of primary writing tremor to essential tremor and writer's cramp.

摘要

我们研究了一个家族中的七名成员，他们患有不同类型的运动障碍：两人患有典型的特发性震颤，两人（双胞胎）患有典型的书写痉挛，一人同时患有特发性震颤和书写痉挛，一人患有原发性书写震颤，还有一人（已故）患有未明确特征的震颤。这似乎是双胞胎及众多家族成员中书写痉挛的首例报告。这个家族将原发性书写震颤、特发性震颤和书写痉挛联系在一起，可能有助于解决原发性书写震颤与特发性震颤和书写痉挛关系方面明显存在的争议。
