The Leksell Gamma Knife is a useful and safe method to perform thalamotomy and pallidotomy in selected older patients with Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders. In this preliminary report, 2 of 3 patients with severe intention tremor were relieved of their symptoms by thalamotomy, as were 4 of 7 patients with Parkinson's tremor. Four of 8 patients had significant improvement of contralateral rigidity following pallidotomy.
对于部分患有帕金森病及相关运动障碍的老年患者，使用Leksell伽玛刀进行丘脑切开术和苍白球切开术是一种有效且安全的方法。在这份初步报告中，3例严重意向性震颤患者中有2例通过丘脑切开术缓解了症状，7例帕金森震颤患者中有4例也是如此。8例患者中有4例在苍白球切开术后对侧僵硬症状有显著改善。
