Abstract
Essential tremor is a common neurologic problem seen widely at all levels of patient care. It should be differentiated from secondary causes of tremor and Parkinson disease. It can be managed with commonly used drugs. However, severe, resistant, or atypical cases should be referred to a specialist for evaluation and the possible use of botulinum toxin or deep brain stimulation.
