  • Title: [Stereotaxia in phantom-limb-neuralgia and causalgia (author's transl)].
    Author: Goldhahn WE.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1979; 104(15):989-93. PubMed ID: 388930.
    Abstract:
    Intractable pain is an important indication for stereotactic operations in deep structures of the brain. The targets are situated in primary and secondary sensomotoric regions of the thalamus, dependent or independent on cortical areas. In clinical practice it is necessary to combine two or three targets in the thalamic nuclei. In more than 25% the destruction of parts of the emotional pain-perception is necessary (ncl. dorso-medialis). The results os stereotactic operations in 32 patients with causalgia and phantom-limb-neuralgia are analysed.
