It is considered a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning other possible causes must be investigated and ruled out before diagnosing idiopathic head tremors. [5] Differential diagnoses include primary neurologic diseases like cerebellar disorders, steroid-responsive tremor syndrome ("little white shaker syndrome"), and exposure to toxins.
