Of these, 1,000 were submitted to surgery of the basal ganglia in the form of anterior choroidal artery occlusion, or chemopallidectomy or chemothalamectomy. It is the purpose of this report to summarize briefly the pertinent clinical data of this investigation.Although the primary aim of our investigation has been the development of an accurate, relatively certain, practical and safe means of relieving the tremor and rigidity of parkinsonism by basal ganglia surgery, a multidisciplinary investigation has...Bibliography1.
