When essential tremor involves the head, it produces a rhythmic, periodic movement with a certain fixed frequency and a variable amplitude. The axis of the tremor has been described as either horizontal (no‐no) or vertical (yes‐yes) and is present when the head is in an action or postural position. Seven patients who differ in symptoms are described; one subgroup exhibited a combined resting‐postural head tremor with a changing axis.
