Abstract

Palatal tremor (PT) is an infrequent disorder characterized by abnormal movement distinguished into symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT) and essential palatal tremor (EPT). SPT can have various causes, including damage to the Guillain-Mollaret triangle (GMT) and hypertrophy of the inferior olive. In contrast, EPT is often associated with clicking sounds in the ears with normal imaging results and may have a functional origin. We describe the case of a 20-year-old girl presenting with clinical symptoms of palatal tremor 2 days after receiving the SARS-CoV-2 AstraZeneca vaccine. The patient had persistent audible clicks associated with rhythmic contractions of the soft palate. Complete resolution of symptoms occurred 2 days after the administration of oral clonazepam. This is the first known case of palatal tremor caused by the SARS-CoV-2 AstraZeneca vaccine.

COVID-19疫苗后原发性腭部震颤1例报告

腭震颤（PT）是一种罕见的以异常运动为特征的疾病，可分为症状性腭震颤（SPT）和原发性腭震颤（EPT）。SPT可能有多种原因，包括格林-莫拉雷三角（GMT）损伤和下橄榄肥大。相比之下，EPT通常与耳内的咔哒声有关，但影像学结果正常，可能有功能原因。我们描述了一名20岁女孩在接种SARS-CoV-2阿斯利康疫苗2天后出现腭颤临床症状的病例。患者有持续的可听到的咔嗒声，并伴有软腭有节奏的收缩。口服氯硝西泮2天后症状完全缓解。这是已知的第一例由SARS-CoV-2阿斯利康疫苗引起的腭颤病例。
