VL Thalamotomy for the Treatment of Tremor in Patients with Thalamic Syndrome

Abstract

A 59-year-old female who underwent successful thalamotomy for tremor in thalamic syndrome was reported. Thalamic syndrome including tremor of the left limbs and slight dysesthesia over the left side of the face was thought to be due to the vascular lesion located in the right thalamus and adjacent structure by detailed radiological and electrophysiological examinations. Significant alleviation of tremor was achieved by right VL thalamotomy without any complication.
