This work displays some unacceptable errors that occur when diagnosing various extrapyramidal hyperkinesis. Data on a patient who suffered from tremor of unknown origin were collected by neurological examination, analysis of complaints and anamnesis, as well as by conducting additional research methods. After collecting the information, important errors were discovered in the diagnosis and therapy of the disease, which prevented a favorable outcome of the patient's condition. Subsequently, a differential diagnosis was carried out between different types of tremor, as well as neurodegenerative diseases. The most appropriate diagnosis for the patient has been identified and appropriate therapy has been selected. This article once again confirms the need for a more thorough approach to patients who go to polyclinics and private medical offices with symptoms of extrapyramidal diseases, because early diagnosis contributes to a more adequate start of treatment and a favorable outcome.
