Core Procedures Myelotomy for intramedullary tumour Dorsal root entry zone lesioning for pain Selective dorsal rhizotomy for spasticity Cordotomy for pain Syringoperitoneal/syringopleural shunting The spinal cord lies within the upper two-thirds of the vertebral canal (spinal canal), which is formed…
Core Procedures Stereotactic deep-brain stimulation electrode implantation (subthalamic nucleus, globus pallidus pars interna, Vim), radiofrequency lesioning (e.g. pallidotomy), biopsy or radiosurgery Management of any lesion (e.g. tumour, arteriovenous malformation, haematoma) partly or wholly involving the basal ganglia or thalamus Surface…
