Strategy of Selective VIM Thalamotomy Guided by Microrecording

Abstract
Our routine procedure for stereotactic selective Vim thalamotomy is de-scribed 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.
