PMID: Treating movement disorders using Gamma Knife radiosurgery


The treatment of movement disorders
using Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery.

In this era of modern neurosurgery, we are able to provide adequate 
amelioration of disabling symptoms for the small subset of patients who have 
conditions that may make them unacceptable candidates for invasive stereotactic 
neurosurgical intervention.

Gamma Knife radiosurgical thalamotomy is an effective and useful alternative to 
invasive radiofrequency techniques for patients at high surgical risk.

The mechanical accuracy of the gamma unit combined with the anatomical accuracy 
of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging makes radiosurgical lesioning 
safe and precise.
