DOI: 10.1002/mp.15239
Abstract: PURPOSE During magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy for refractory tremor, high temperatures must be achieved and sustained for tissue necrosis. We assessed the impact of both patient-specific as well as procedure-related factors on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-018-3480-5
Abstract: Ventro-oral (Vo) thalamotomy is effective in patients with focal task-specific dystonias (FTSDs), but only in those with upper-limb symptoms. We describe a patient with drummer’s dystonia who completely recovered after Vo thalamotomy. A 37-year-old man… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ane.12891
Abstract: Essential tremor (ET) represents the most common movement disorder. Drug‐resistant ET can benefit from standard stereotactic procedures (deep brain stimulation or radiofrequency thalamotomy) or alternatively minimally invasive high‐focused ultrasound or radiosurgery. All aim at same… read more here.
