Cover of the October issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video. Patient spirals before (red) and after (green) magnetic resonance鈥揼uided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) ablation targeted at the dentatorubrothalamic tract show significant improvement in hand tremor. The postoperative lesion can be seen in the left thalamus, as well as the remnant of the patient鈥檚 first MRgFUS lesion, from 9 months prior, in the right thalamus. See the article by Seas et al. (V2).
News — Rolling Meadows, IL (October 1, 2024). The October issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video () presents four videos on the topic of movement disorders.
Topic Editors: Andres M. Lozano, Ellen L. Air, Gordon H. Baltuch, and Francisco A. Ponce
From the Topic Editors’ introduction: “In this issue of Neurosurgical Focus: Video, we concentrate on therapeutic lesioning in the central nervous system to treat movement disorders, using both traditional open methods with radiofrequency lesioning and noninvasive methods, specifically focused ultrasound. … In this issue, we discuss some of the fundamental neuroanatomical considerations in these procedures.”
Contents of the October issue:
- “Introduction. Advances in therapeutic lesioning in functional neurosurgery” by Andres M. Lozano et al.
- “Four-tract tractography: multiparametric direct targeting of the dentatorubrothalamic tract” by Andreas Seas et al.
- “MRI-guided focused ultrasound for essential tremor” by Alexander H. Agopyan-Miu et al.
- “Magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy for tremor” by Jason A. Chen et al.
- “Stereotactic radiofrequency lesioning of caudal zona incerta for parkinsonian tremor” by Jitin Bajaj et al.
