About this episode

Doctors Lisa and Sara discuss Essential Tremor with Consultant Neurologist Dr Antonella Macerollo, covering its presentation, differentials, and management options.

Doctors Lisa and Sara speak to Consultant Neurologist Dr Antonella Macerollo about Essential Tremor (ET). We take a case and go through what ET is, how it might present, differentials and the differences between other conditions, how it might affect people and what management options there are. This is the first of two Episodes with Dr Antonella Macerollo, our next one is about Parkinson’s Disease. Thanks to Alison Day at Parkison’s UK for making the connection between ourselves and Antonella to make these episodes possible.
