Background: Thalamotomy is an endorsed treatment for medication-refractory tremor. It used to be the standard, but nowadays deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become the treatment option of choice. Nevertheless, DBS has the disadvantage of hardware failure, battery replacement, and frequent setting adjustment. Radiofrequency (RF) thalamotomy lacks these issues, is relatively inexpensive, and has a broad applicability in patients with significant comorbidity. Therefore, we analyzed the long-term patient-reported...

Background: Hemifacial spasm is an involuntary condition that involves muscles innervated by the ipsilateral facial nerve. There are secondary causes of hemifacial spasm that can produce a typical presentation of symptoms. Extrinsic compression of the facial colliculus at the floor of the fourth ventricle is responsible for #x3c;0.6% of the causes of secondary hemifacial spasm, as the cases with this origin reported in the literature are rare. Case Reports: We present the case of a 43-year-old female...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising new therapy for patients with spasmodic dysphonia (SD). The preliminary results from our randomized controlled trial showed good clinical effects with unilateral left thalamic stimulation in 6 right- handed patients. This suggests that the pathological process underpinning SD may have a “hemisphere dominant” pathway. We describe 2 patients with concurrent essential tremor and SD who had previously undergone bilateral thalamic DBS for their limb tremor....
