Abstract

In 2 patients with essential tremor, thalamotomy in the ventralis intermedius (VIM) provided lasting tremor relief after thalamic stimulation of the VIM failed. These cases illustrate that the effects of deep brain stimulation might not be those of simple inhibition, and that thalamotomy should be considered when deep brain stimulation does not succeed.

摘要

在2例特发性震颤患者中，丘脑腹中间核（VIM）丘脑切开术在VIM丘脑刺激失败后提供了持久的震颤缓解。这些病例表明，深部脑刺激的效果可能不是简单的抑制作用，并且当深部脑刺激不成功时应考虑丘脑切开术。
