Our routine procedure for stereotactic selective Vim thalamotomy is described briefly. Preoperative steps identify the tremor qualitatively and quantitatively. The highlight of the procedure is the use of intraoperative microrecording to determine tremor time-locked rhythmic discharge in the presumed Vim nucleus. Results of the operation are also estimated quantitatively.
