congenital tremor syndrome
- congenital tremor syndrome
- any of several congenital neurological diseases of piglets characterized by noticeable trembling, often owing to defective myelination of nerves. Mild varieties may clear up within a month but in severe cases the animals cannot function normally and soon die. One variety is autosomal recessive; another is sex-linked; and others are caused by intrauterine viral infections such as with hog cholera virus. Affected pigs are called dancing or shaker pigs. Called also congenital trembles and myoclonia congenita.
