Object In deep brain stimulation, the anatomic positions of electrode contact centers are used as the basis for analysis. We propose a new semi-quantitative approach (contact membership concept) considering patient’s individual anatomy, contact size, and extent of involvement of STN and neighboring structures. Materials and methods In ten bilaterally operated and improved Parkinsonian patients,...
In this article, we briefly review the concept of brain mapping in stereotactic surgery taking into account recent advances in stereotactic imaging. The gold standard continues to rely on probabilistic and indirect targeting, relative to a stereotactic reference, i.e., mostly the anterior (AC) and the posterior (PC) commissures. The theoretical position of a target defined on an atlas is transposed...
Object Relationships between clinical effects, anatomy, and electrophysiology are not fully understood in DBS of the subthalamic region in Parkinson’s disease. We proposed an anatomic study based on direct image-guided stereotactic surgery with a multiple source data analysis. Materials and Methods A manual anatomic mapping was realized on coronal 1.5-Tesla MRI of 15 patients. Biological data were...
Symptoms of Parkinson's disease can be relieved through deep brain stimulation. This neurosurgical technique relies on high precision positioning of electrodes in specific areas of the basal ganglia and the thalamus. In order to identify these anatomical targets, which are located deep within the brain, we developed a semi-automated method of image analysis, based on data fusion. Information provided...
Although it seems likely that body tilt or surgically provoked variations in intracranial pressure (ICP) can result in variations of intralabyrinthine pressure, the channels for pressure transmission remain controversial and the reasons why evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs) exhibit attendant modifications are unclear. The theoretical framework implemented in the companion paper [Avan et al. part...
