متن کاملNeurosurgery for functional disorders guided by multimodality imaging
This paper presents a procedure for combining MR anatomical information and a stereotactic reference obtained from a CT study with a Leksell frame attached to the patient’s head, in order to guide neurosurgery of functional disorders. MRI acquisition can be performed well before the surgery, without the stereotactic frame. The day of the intervention, after attaching the Leksell frame to the pa...

OBJECTIVE As the literature for the treatment of functional (psychogenic) movement disorders (FMD) is sparse, we assessed clinical outcomes in patients with FMD who underwent treatment with psychodynamic psychotherapy (PDP). METHODS A retrospective analysis of the data of patients with FMD who were referred for PDP from 2008-2014 at Emory University Medical Center was performed. RESULTS Thi...
