    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Radiosurgery

    Background:

    • Tremor is a common, potentially disabling movement disorder.
    • Medical therapies are the initial treatment, but many patients become refractory.
    • Surgical options like radiofrequency thalamotomy and deep brain stimulation exist for refractory tremor.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review radiosurgical thalamotomy as a treatment for medically refractory tremor.
    • To discuss its history, technique, indications, efficacy, and complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on radiosurgical thalamotomy for tremor.
    • Discussion of the technique, patient selection, and outcomes.
    • Evaluation of safety, efficacy, and potential adverse events.

    Main Results:

    • Radiosurgical thalamotomy is a safe and effective alternative for patients unsuitable for or avoiding open surgery.
    • The review details the historical development and current application of the technique.
    • Efficacy and complication profiles are explored.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiosurgical thalamotomy provides a valuable, less invasive option for managing medically refractory tremor.
    • It serves a specific patient subset who cannot undergo or choose to avoid traditional surgical interventions.
    • Understanding its benefits and limitations is crucial for patient selection and management.
