Objective: To summarize the definition, pathophysiology, clinical menifestation, diagnosis and treatment of dystonic tremor(DT), thus to provide a better understanding of this rarely seen disease.Method: We retrospectively analyzed one patient diagnosed as DT and reviewed a mass of related literatures.Result: The patient presented with static or postural tremor in both of her legs for 1 year.She was diagnosed and treated as parkinson s disease but she didn t respond to antiparkinsonism drugs.Neurological examination revealed a dystonic posturing of both feet, presenting as dorsal flexure and inversion of both feet, without hypermyotonia.We diagnosed her as DT and c]onazepam was given by 0.5 mg twice per day , which satisfactorily relieved her symtomps in our follow-up.Literature review demonstrated that DT was a new clinical entity without an clear definition.
