Tremor is known to occur in patients with neuropathies although its reported prevalence varies widely. Tremor has been shown to cause disability in children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease but no data exit about the disability caused by tremor in inflammatory neuropathies. Little is known about the response of neuropathic tremor to treatment and why it selectively occurs in some people and not others. ⋯ Tremor in inflammatory neuropathies is common, adds to disability and yet does not often respond to treatment of the underlying neuropathy. When present, tremor severity is associated with F wave latency.
