Stereotactic pallidotomy for Parkinson's disease: a long-term follow-up of unilateral pallidotomy.
Department of Neurology, New York University School of Medicine-Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York 10003, USA.
Eleven patients suffering from Parkinson's disease were followed for up to 4 years after unilateral pallidotomy. We observed persistent contralateral improvement and unexpected ipsilateral improvement of motor symptoms. In addition, there was a protracted relief of contralateral dyskinesias and maintenance of relatively stable levodopa dosage.
