...Takao Hashimoto; Jun Tanimura; Takehiro Yako Introduction: Functional thalamic surgery is known for alleviating isolated focal hand dystonia; however, the optimal target site in the thalamus is not determined. This study aimed to identify effective sites for thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS...

...Yan-jia Hu; Li-feng Zhang; Chang Ding; Yuan Tian; Jing Chen Introduction: Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) has been used to treat cavernous malformations (CMs) located in basal ganglia and thalamus. However, previous reports are limited by small patient population. Methods: We retrospectively...

... regarding the indication for DBS in advanced cases. We performed DBS of the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) of the thalamus for treatment of coarse action tremor in a patient with SCA2 (spinocerebellar ataxia type 2) in the wheelchair-bound stage. Although improvement of the tremor of the proximal part...

... of the thalamus (ANT) for refractory epilepsy is controversial. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively investigated the relationship between postoperative EEG DR and the location of 11 electrodes in 6 patients who underwent ANT DBS for refractory epilepsy. Results: Cerebral synchronizing EEG DR was observed...
