Only 3 cases of tremor with PNE have already been reported (one in 1986 and two very recently). The aim of this multicentric retrospective study is to report clinical cases of tremors caused by PNE and to analyze their clinical findings and treatment. 17 patients was referred to 5 hand centers for tremors of their hand after being examined by a neurologist clinically and electrophysiologically. The clinical examination showed simple, double or multiple crush nerve entrapment at the upper limb (elbow was involved for all of them except one). The treatment was conservative (myofascial manipulation and taping) for 8 patients and surgical (wide awake nerve release) for 9 others after failure of conservative treatments. The tremors disappeared for all of them. Our study showed upper limb peripheral nerve entrapment can be a cause of tremor of the hand in rare but misdiagnosed situations. We suggest that tremor induced by peripheral nerve entrapment can be a new type of tremor classified in the PIMD group.
