Stereotactic Thalamotomy for Dystonie Patients
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1993A total of 54 patients (22 females and 32 males) with dystonia underwent thalamotomy. These patients consisted of 25 dystonia musculorum deformans (DMD) and 29 secondary dystonia cases. All of the patients were analyzed prospectively.

Trajectory Angle in Stereotactic Thalamotomy
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1993Most neurosurgeons use a frontal burr hole in stereotactic thalamotomy for movement disorders. However, the reports on this operation show a variation in trajectory with reference to the angles to the intercommissural line and the midsagittal plane.

Aphasia and Thalamotomy: Important Issues
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 2004Patients may present with classical symptoms suggesting aphasia following thalamotomy (repetition, comprehension, fluency and naming abnormalities). They may also present with ‘freezing of speech’, and this symptom should not be considered as a speech disorder or a symptom of Parkinson’s disease progression, without careful testing to rule out language

Sympathetic Deficits Following Thalamotomy
Archives of Neurology, 1968SYMPATHETIC deficits have been found in 15 patients who have undergone thalamotomy for dyskinesia. These deficits have consisted of ptosis, miosis, and hemianhydrosis on the side of the body ipsilateral to the lesion. Sympathetic defects associated with brainstem lesions are not uncommon in clinical experience, as in the Wallenberg syndrome seen with ...
