Amaç: Çocukluk çağında gözlenen tremorların büyük kısmını esansiyel tremor (ET) oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinin çocuk nöroloji polikliniğince esansiyel tremor tanısı konulan olguların demografik özellikler açısından geriye dönük bilgileri analiz edildi.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Haziran 2016-Haziran 2019 yılları arasındaki 3 yıllık süre içinde çocuk nöroloji polikliniğine titreme şikâyeti ile başvuran olgulardan esansiyel tremor tanısı Hareket Bozuklukları Derneği (1998) tanı ölçütleri esas alınarak konulan olgular incelendi. SPSS 17.0 programı analizde kullanıldı. p<.05 anlamlılık düzeyi olarak kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Belirtilen süre içinde esansiyel tremor tanılı olguların toplam 93 olduğu, yaş ortanca değerinin 16 yıl (6-18 yaş) olduğu, % 54.8’inin (n = 51) kız ve % 45.2’sinin (n = 42) erkek olduğu saptandı. Olguların % 7.5’i (n = 7) çocuk yaş grubunda (6-11 yaş) iken % 92.5’i (n =86) ergen yaş grubunda (12-18 yaş)’di. Olguların %17.2’sinde (n=16) esansiyel tremora sekonder gelişen psikiyatrik semptomlar nedeniyle çocuk-ergen psikiyatrisine danışıldığı saptandı. Olguların %11.8’ine (n = 11) dideral tedavisi önerildiği gözlendi. Çocuk yaş grubuna dideral tedavisi önerilmediği, çocuk ve ergen yaş gruplarının benzer oranlarda çocuk psikiyatrisi bölümüne yönlendirildiği saptandı (p>.05).
Sonuç: Esansiyel tremor benzer oranlarda kız ve erkek cinsiyetini etkilemekte ve dideral özellikle ergen grubunda tedavi seçeneği olarak gözlenmektedir. Kesitimizde hem kız-erkek cinsiyetlerinde, hem de çocuk-ergen yaş gruplarında benzer oranlarda psikiyatrik etkilenim olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bulgular literatür ile uyumludur.

Objective: Most of the tremors observed in childhood constitute essential tremor (ET). In this study, retrospective information of thepatients who were diagnosed with essential tremor by the pediatric neurology out patient clinic of an education and research hospital were analyzed.
Material and Methods: Patients who were admitted to the pediatric neurology out patient clinic with a complaint of tremor in the 3-year period between June 2016 and June 2019 were diagnosed based on the criteria of Movement Disorders Society (1998). SPSS 17.0 program was used in the analysis and p<.05 was accepted as the level of significance.
Results: It was determined that the cases diagnosed with essential tremor were 93 in total, the median age was 16 years (6-18 years), 54.8% (n = 51) were girls and 45.2% (n = 42) were boys. While 7.5% (n = 7) of the cases were in the child age group (6-11 years), 92.5% (n = 86) were in the adolescent age group (12-18 years). It was found that child-adolescent psychiatry was consulted due to psychiatric symptoms developing secondary to essential tremor in 17.2% (n = 16) of the cases. It was observed that 11.8% (n = 11) of th cases were prescribed dideral treatment. It was found that dideral treatment was not recommended for the childage group, and the child and adolescent age groups were directed to the child psychiatry department at simila rates (p> .05).
Conclusion: Essential tremor affects the gender of girls and boys in similar proportions and dideral is observed as a treatment option especially in adolescent group. In our cross-section, it was observed that there was a similar rate of psychiatric influences in both male and females exes and child-adolescent age groups. The findings are consistent with the literature.
