Tremor in the young: Causes to think of include neoplastic, developmental and inherited (storage disease, wilson's etc). Mri is a good first step to rule out a brainstem tumor or structural problem e.g. Congenital brain malformation, aqueductal stenosis. If negative, CSF studies next to rule out an infectious or inflammatory process. Familial essential tremor can manifest early in life but is a diagnosis of exclusion.

Not sure: Hopeully his MRI will be normal. Make sure you do not use an open MRI unless it is 1.5t quality.
