Abstract

Palatal tremor (PT) is a rare cause of objective tinnitus. Symptomatic PT is caused by injuries of the Guillain-Mollaret triangle with contraction of levator veli palatini. Essential PT causes are unknown and is produced by contraction of tensor veli palatini, with pathognomonic audible ear click. This is a case report of a 36-year-old female, who developed bilateral objective tinnitus, as well as vertigo, blepharospasm, and neck tension after a free fall trauma 30 metres in the net. She was diagnosed with essential PT and treated with botulinum neurotoxin injections in the soft palate.
