Abstract:
Trigeminal tractotomy is an effective procedure in denervating pain areas of 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th nerves. The classical imaging technique is the x-ray method which visualizes the target electrode relation indirectly. The method of CT-guided trigeminal tractotomy demonstrates the target electrode relation directly.
