    Author: Fazzini E, Dogali M, Sterio D, Eidelberg D, Berić A.
    Journal: Neurology; 1997 May; 48(5):1273-7. PubMed ID: 9153456.
    Abstract:
    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.
