  • Title: Multilocular lesions in the therapy of cerebral palsy.
    Author: Mundinger F, Ostertag C.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 1977; (Suppl 24):11-4. PubMed ID: 335800.
    Abstract:
    The cerebral pareses occurring in early childhood or produced subsequently by trauma or spontaneous cerebral haemorrhages, present a heterogenous symptomatic picture. In the forefront we find the spastic pareses associated with extra-pyramidal motor hyperkinesia (athetosis, dystonia, ballism). 36 C.P.-patients were surveyed from 1--4 years after operative intervention. It is shown that better results can be obtained when multilocular lesions during a single session in correspondence with the dominant group of symptoms are performed (thalamic and subthalamic target points of the extrapyramidal motor nuclei and dentate nucleus). The results are presented. Continuous physical therapy after the operation and a reasonable intellectual level are essential for improvement.
