Insomnia after bilateral stereotactic thalamotomy in man.
We think it interesting to report a case of insomnia, occurring in a Parkinsonian patient after bilateral stereotactic thalamotomy, as a clinical contribution to the physiopathology of variations of consciousness and regulation of the sleep-wakefulness rhythm. Neurophysiological experimental findings in animals suggest that in addition to the activating or arousing mechanisms of the reticular f...
متن کاملStereotactic thalamotomy and L-dopa induced involuntary movement in Parkinsonism.
Involuntary movement is one of the most disturbing and problematic side effects of L-dopa in the treatment of Parkinsonism. Several attempts have been made to reduce this complication, such as an addition of adjuvant, (4) and use of slow release L-dopa. However, the problem remains unsolved probably because hyperkinesis occurs when the akinesis of Parkinonism is overcorrected by L-dopa and prod...
متن کاملRelationship of the P Angle with Stereotactic Arc in Intraoperative Outcome of Patients with Parkinson’s Disease Undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation
Background & Aim: DBS (deep brain stimulation) is a new and successful technique in treatment of symptoms of Parkinsonism especially after drug resistance. Research in this field is mostly designed for evolution of this technique. The present study aimed at evaluating the relationship between the angle formed in midsagittal and STN (sub-thalamic nucleus) axis line and recording l...
متن کاملTarget Identification for Stereotactic Thalamotomy Using Diffusion Tractography
BACKGROUND Stereotactic targets for thalamotomy are usually derived from population-based coordinates. Individual anatomy is used only to scale the coordinates based on the location of some internal guide points. While on conventional MR imaging the thalamic nuclei are indistinguishable, recently it has become possible to identify individual thalamic nuclei using different connectivity profiles...
متن کاملPrimary writing tremor treated by stereotactic selective thalamotomy.
Three cases with primary writing tremor were treated successfully by stereotactic selective thalamotomy centred mainly on the ventralis intermedius nucleus. They exhibited progressive coarse tremor of 5-7 Hz during writing, and Westphal's phenomenon on stretch, as the only neurological manifestations. Within the thalamus, a very high incidence of irregular burst discharges was recorded. These f...
