We performed [I-123]FP-CIT/SPECT in 20 drug-naive Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, 10 with unilateral akinesia/rigidity at onset (arPD) and 10 with additional tremor-at-rest (tPD), to evaluate whether resting tremor at onset is associated with differences in striatal dopamine transporter binding. Patients of the two cohorts were matched for age, disease duration (< 3 years) and severity of nontremor motor symptoms; 31 healthy participants served as controls. Mean striatal dopamine transporter binding reduction in PD patients vs. controls was 42% for arPD and 50% for tPD; mean ipsilateral striatum and caudate nucleus uptake values were lower by 12 and 24%, respectively, in tPD than arPD. We conclude that widespread degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway might be necessary for the development of parkinsonian tremor-at-rest.
