A 64-year-old female patient with spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 was referred to our department for pancreatic cancer and anesthetized with volatile anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia for pancreaticoduodenectomy. No complications arose during surgery. On postoperative day 4, a head tremor was noticed at the time of mobilization. The tremor was a postural and "no-no" tremor rather than an intention or resting tremor. The head tremor caused difficulty in eating and in other activities of daily living. No abnormal results were obtained by magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. The tremor was resistant to drugs, including anti-Parkinson drugs and benzodiazepines, and was therefore difficult to treat.

“…The authors of the previous reports hypothesized that hormonal changes are likely to influence the manifestation of the condition. On the other hand, factors related to stress might play a pivotal role in the development of acute cerebellar ataxia symptoms in patients with asymptomatic SCA10 [11].…”
