Abstract
We report the case of a 53-year-old man who was diagnosed with Holmes tremor and underwent deep brain stimulation of the ventro-intermediate thalamic nucleus and posterior subthalamic area. We assessed the patients' tremor with the Fahn-Tolosa-Marin Tremor Rating Scale at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after deep brain stimulation. Deep brain stimulation relieved the patient's tremor during the 24-month follow-up period.
