Olfactory dysfunction in essential tremor

A deficit unrelated to disease duration or severity Elan D. Louis, MD MS, Steven M. Bromley, MD, Eva C. Jurewicz, BA and Dryden Watner, MA

From the Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center (Dr. Louis, E.C. Jurewicz, and D. Watner) and the Department of Neurology (Drs. Louis and Bromley), College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY.

Because olfactory dysfunction is a feature of neurodegenerative diseases, the authors hypothesized that it would be present in essential tremor. Thirty-seven cases and control subjects underwent the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test. Mean score was lower in cases than in control subjects (29.0 ± 6.1 vs 31.9 ± 4.6, p = 0.02) and was not correlated with tremor severity or duration.
