Computed-tomography-directed stereotaxis for movement disorder with postoperative magnetic resonance imaging confirmation.
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.
