abstract = {The aim of this pilot study was to compare clinical aspects
of tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with
and without preceding essential tremor to identify
characteristics of these two subgroups. Nineteen patients
with diagnoses of both essential tremor (ET) and
Parkinson’s disease in comparison to 18 patients with
tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease without preceding
tremor were investigated. The profile of several motor and
non-motor symptoms, including cognitive dysfunction,
depression, sleep alterations, olfaction changes and some
autonomic symptoms, as well as imaging aspects obtained by
transcranial sonography were compared between groups.
Parkinson’s patients with essential tremor scored higher
in kinetic and postural tremor items (p < 0.05) and
displayed an enlarged third ventricle on transcranial
sonography (p = 0.010), which was not found in
tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease patients. All other
motor and non-motor symptoms could not distinguish between
either study group. Neither group showed a distinct clinical
profile related to non-motor symptoms or symptoms other than
tremor-specific motor aspects. The fact that non-motor
symptoms were similar in ET-PD gives rise to the hypothesis
that also the prodromal phase of PD is similar in ET
patients later developing classical PD compared to
individuals developing PD without preceding ET. This
hypothesis needs to be followed in prospective studies to
verify whether the establishment of an ET subgroup with
prodromal markers for PD is feasible.},
