Stereotactic Approach to Therapeutic Stimulation of Cerebellum for Spasticity

  • Conference paper
Advances in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery 4

Part of the book series: Acta Neurochirurgica Supplementum ((STEREOTACTIC,volume 30))

Summary

A Stereotactic approach for transtentorial implantation of deep wire electrodes directly into the anterior lobe of cerebellum has been shown as a beneficial method for the treatment of cerebral palsy in 9 patients. Proper placement of the electrodes especially into the central lobule were checked by evoked potentials and by choosing an optimal program of therapeutic Stimulation which appears to be essential. With its favourable effect particularly on axial musculature Stimulation seems to promote physiologic maturation of functional mechanisms in the brain, which were delayed in the course of development.
