Background: Palatal tremor is involuntary, rhythmic and oscillatory movement of the soft palate. Palatal tremor can be classified into three subtypes; essential, symptomatic and palatal tremor associated with progressive ataxia.

Progressive ataxia and palatal tremor syndrome (PAPT) is a subgroup of symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT). It can be divided into familial and sporadic forms. Sporadic PAPT is characterized by progressive cerebellar degeneration.

Palatal tremor is a rhythmic oscillation of the soft palate, which even persists during sleep. Essential palatal tremor (EPT) is produced due to contraction of tensor veli-palatini, whereas symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT) is attributed to lesion of the Guillain–Mollaret triangle.

Feb 18, 2021 · Palatal tremor (PT), first described by Politzer in 1878, is a rare movement disorder characterized by rhythmic 0.5 to 5 Hz 1 movements of the soft palate.

Nov 3, 2024 · Essential palatal tremor, also known as essential palatal myoclonus or isolated palatal tremor, describes a rare movement disorder characterized by continuous and rhythmic palatal movement caused by contraction of the tensor veli palatini muscle, without an obvious structural cause.

Palatal tremor (brief, rhythmic involuntary movements of the soft palate) apparently comprises two different nosological entities: essential palatal tremor (EPT) and symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT).

Oct 8, 2020 · Background: Palatal tremor is involuntary, rhythmic and oscillatory movement of the soft palate. Palatal tremor can be classified into three subtypes; essential, symptomatic and palatal tremor associated with progressive ataxia.
