Magnetic Resonance Image-Guided Focused Ultrasound Ventral Intermediate Nucleus Thalamotomy with Indwelling Globus Pallidus Internus Deep Brain Stimulation Electrodes: A Case Report
This is the first report of MRgFUS thalamotomy for recurrent tremor with indwelling DBS electrodes. We found that MRgFUS thalamotomy as salvage therapy with implanted GPi DBS electrodes is both safe and effective. It represents a novel potential treatment paradigm for TdPD patients with persistent tremor despite otherwise effective GPi DBS.
