Tremorgenic encephalopathy: a role of mycotoxins in the production of CNS disease in humans

Abstract

We describe a young man who, shortly after exposure to moldy silage, developed a neurological syndrome consisting of dementia and a remarkable tremor which was precipitated by movement. All symptoms resolved within one week. Despite investigation, no definitive diagnosis was reached. We propose that this patient's illness may have resulted from inhalation exposure to a tremorgenic mycotoxin.
