Tremor is now considered an important phenotypic feature of dystonia. Tremor in dystonia is of two types: dystonic tremor, where tremor occurs at the same site that involves dystonia, and tremor associated with dystonia, where tremor occurs at a site other than that involving the dystonic region.

The aim of this review was to discuss the definition, clinical spectrum, pathophysiology, and treatment of dystonic tremor.
