Abstract
The introduction of new techniques in the neurosurgical treatment of spasticity has resulted in the abandonment of destructive therapeutic lesions in the cerebrum and in the cerebellum. Nevertheless a review of these methods will be given briefly as they were popular 25 years ago and the reasons for their abandonment will be emphasized.
