ABSTRACT
Experience with 366 CT-stereotactic operations in varying movement disorders (Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, torsion dystonia, torticollis, hemihyperkinesis) is presented. Different deep structures, such as thalamic nuclei, subthalamic structures, palladium, putamen, caudate nucleus, dentate nucleus, and brachium conjunctivum or combination of these structures, were selected as a stereotactic target point. Anodic or radiofrequency stimulation, implantation of chronic intracerebral electrodes and neurotransplantation were used as methods of exposure. A procedure for CT-stereotactic determination of supratentorial and subtentorial target points is described. CT-guided stereotactic procedures in the treatment of dyskinesia are precise and less traumatic than ventriculography-guided procedures.
