Abstract:
Long-term observation over 3-8 postoperative years of cases of Parkinson disease operated by stereotactic thalamotomy using a microelectrode recording technique is reported. The procedure is specifically useful in the following four groups: (1) tremor-dominant cases, (2) hemiparkinsonism, (3) cases with marked asymmetry in motor symptoms and (4) juvenile parkinsonism presenting levodopa-induced dyskinesia.
