Stereotaxis and abnormal movements.
Abstract
A series is presented of 106 patients with extrapyramidal syndromes treated by stereotaxy. The importance of preoperative screening to assure favorable results is stressed. Surgical contraindications are elderly patients with dementia and akinesia. Axial dystonia and spasmodic torticollis respond poorly to stereotaxy; and bilateral interventions should be avoided.
