Computerized tomography-guided stereotactic dentatotomy.
The CT stereotactic technique of dentatotomy is described and illustrated with two examples. With this combined technique, ventriculography or pneumencephalography is no longer needed to determine the target point. In addition, due to the direct representation of anatomic structures in the CT, abnormal positions of the dentate nucleus may be taken into consideration in the determination of the target point and approach for the coagulation probe.
