“…The results of this medial thalamotomy [21,22,37,38,44,51,57,63,67,72] have come up to expectations with only a few exceptions [14,55,56], Cassinari and Pagni [14] point out in their recent monograph that the lateral operation might be abandoned in favour of the medial, this being the chosen method. Fairman [21,22], working from 112 cases, calls attention to an individualizing of the target of operation regarding the nature and origin of pain.…”

This report deals with the current view of painconducting pathways and their mutual relation in the medulla and the thalamus, which makes it possible to understand the basis of central pain. It is stressed that a thalamotomy for parkinsonism does not give rise to a thalamic syndrome in spite of the fact that the surgical lesion is placed in the region of thalamus, where this syndrome has its origin; it is also stressed that thalamotomies in the medial nuclei of thalamus are able to combat intractable pains and central pains, even a thalamic syndrome.

“…The control of these effects would perm it them to avoid undesirable lesions and also to obtain an idea of the location of the perm anent lesion they produce. O thers, like Siegfried (1963), Houdart, Dondey et al (1965), Le Beau, Dondey et al (1966) have perform ed localized blockings in th e thalam us and the neighboring areas previous to m aking any perm anent lesions by electro-coagulation. Regardless of its technical means, th e m ethod of localized cooling certainly has th e advantages of showing ways to avoid harm ful perm anent lesions.…”
