“…Reports on two patients with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome effectively and safely treated with unilateral MRgFUS-thalamotomy have been recently published 37,38. We have seen the same promising results in a small series of patients with dystonic tremor and ET-like tremors seen in dystonia patients (tremor associated with dystonia and tremor associated with dystonia gene) (personal unpublished experience).…”

“…Additionally, his gait was affected, and he became confined to a wheelchair. The clinicians prescribed several other drugs, which he also responded to poorly (Cerquera et al., 2016 ). The patient opted for another form of treatment, which will be discussed in a subsequent section.…”

“…Upon testing, it was shown that the patient had a premutation of 90 CGG repeats, which lead to the diagnosis of Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia (FXTAS). The authors mentioned that it is possible this patient presented with parkinsonism only because of the FXTAS; however, the authors noted two other cases in the literature of patients with both Parkinson disease and FXTAS (Cerquera et al, 2016).…”

“…There is scarce evidence on the application of FUS in other movement disorders. A few cases of successful treatment of non‐ET tremors, such as fragile‐X associated tremor/ataxia syndrome, 40 multiple sclerosis‐associated tremor 41 or dystonic tremor 42 have been reported. In addition, one case of musician's dystonia treated with ultrasound ventro‐oral thalamotomy is also reported 43 .…”
