title: Computed-tomography-directed stereotaxis for movement disorder with postoperative magnetic resonance imaging confirmation.
abstract: Movement disorders may respond dramatically to properly placed lesions in thalamic and subthalamic areas. Proper location of lesions may be verified postoperatively by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein is reported a case of stereotactically placed bilateral lesions under computed tomography control using the Leksell apparatus, with successful clinical outcome, and the verification of lesion placement by subsequent MRI images.
