Holmes tremor in the head and neck region caused by midbrain and thalamic hemorrhage: a case report

Abstract

Objective: to describe the clinical features of Holmes tremor (HT) in the head and neck region caused by midbrain and thalamus hemorrhage. Methods: we collected the clinical history and examination data of a patient with HT in the head and neck region. Results: the patient had HT in the head and neck region with dizziness. Brain computed tomography (CT) showed midbrain and thalamus hemorrhage. Conclusion: HT in the head and neck region as a delayed complication of midbrain and thalamus stroke are rare in clinic.
