Alcoholic tremor

Alcoholic tremor is a common clinical symptom of alcoholic atrophy. Alcoholic cerebral atrophy refers to the irreversible reduction of brain tissue caused by chronic alcohol consumption. Whether this disease constitutes an independent clinicopathological disease is controversial. Some authors believe that alcoholic brain atrophy is a pathological concept, the term originally derived from the study of encephalography. Especially refers to relatively young alcoholics, clinically or without symptoms of cerebral lesions, and encephalography shows enlarged lateral ventricles and widened frontal sulci. Corresponding findings have been made in modern imaging.
