title: [CT-stereotactic determination of targets for thalamotomy for movement disorders].
abstract: The methodology of determining an invisible target by CT-stereotaxy, such as the ventrolateral nucleus of the thalamus, is described. This approach obviates the need for traditional ventriculographic determination of the third ventricle commissures and allows accurate measurement of third ventricular width. Morbidity and length of hospitalization are thereby reduced.
