DOI: 10.1002/acn3.51333
Abstract: Ablation of the globus pallidus internus (pallidotomy) is an effective surgical intervention for dystonia. However, the current literature on the efficacy and safety of pallidotomy for dystonia is derived only from single‐case reports and small… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mds.27400
Abstract: Although DBS has replaced radiofrequency (RF) pallidotomy for various movement disorders, including dystonia, there remain circumstances where pallidotomy might be indicated. With dwindling experience with RF ablation, however, young practitioners in particular have limited options.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mds.28384
Abstract: Stereotactic lesioning of the bilateral globus pallidus (GPi) was one of the first surgical treatments for medication‐refractory dystonia but has largely been abandoned in clinical practice after the introduction of deep brain stimulation (DBS). However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2020.6.jns192773
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Stereotactic radiofrequency pallidotomy has demonstrated improvement in motor fluctuations in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly levodopa (L-dopa)-induced dyskinesias. The authors aimed to determine whether or not unilateral pallidotomy with MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS)… read more here.

DOI: 10.3171/2022.7.focus22332
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Dystonias are relatively rare disorders characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal movements or postures. Generalized dystonia is a therapeutic challenge because medications are unable to control dystonia adequately in most patients.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2021.808810
Abstract: Objective MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is increasingly being used to treat patients with essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease (PD) with thalamotomy and pallidotomy, respectively. Pallidotomy is performed off-center within the cranium compared to thalamotomy… read more here.
