A rare case of Holmes tremor in a worker with occupational carbon monoxide poisoning

Abstract: Parkinsonism and encephalopathy are frequently seen in patients who survive carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Neurological findings associated with CO poisoning can emerge immediately after cessation of exposure or following a brief period of pseudo‐recovery. When present, the tremor associated with CO poisoning is typical of the postural/intention type. Here, we report on a rare case of toxic encephalopathy with a dominant‐hand Holmes‐type tremor, characterized by resting, as well as postural and kinetic/intent… Show more

“…However, other studies report no significant correlations between lesion extent and the severity of associated neurologic manifestations [ 2 ]. As previously stated, this discrepancy extends to neuroimaging, with occasional dissociation between symptoms severity and degree of injury on MRI [ 12 13 14 15 ]. The latency from lesion to tremor onset is usually about two months and its generation likely relies on a combined involvement of both the dopaminergic nigrostriatal system and the cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathways.…”

“…Although these findings reinforce the importance of both the cerebello-thalamo-cortical and the dentato-rubro-olivary pathways in the development of HT, some cases lacked involvement of the nigrostriatal system [ 15 ]. Additional imaging studies support normal dopaminergic uptake in certain cases [ 12 13 14 15 ]. It should be noted however, that this occurrence is uncommon as evidenced by being reported primarily in individual case reports [ 3 14 15 ].…”
