Abstract:
We report a patient with intractable left facial pain and severe hyperkinesia of the left arm who was successfully treated with deep brain stimulation. The stimulation lead was positioned to pierce both the sensory relay nucleus and the nucleus ventrointermedius of the thalamus in a single stereotactic trajectory through an occipital burr hole.
