Stereotactic extralemniscal myelotomy.
A procedure is reported in which radiofrequency lesions were stereotactically placed in the central cord region at the cervicomedullary junction to interrupt selectively the extralemniscal system. Physiological recognition of the target site was based upon the homuncular organization of the dorsal funiculi, which is analysed. Only subjective (segmentally unrelated) analgesia was achieved, usual...

The first spinal commissurotomy was performed by Armour and reported in 1927. The patient, suffering from tabetic gastric pain, died post-operatively. Putnam (1934) devised a similar procedure independently and advocated it for intractable pain in the arms and shoulders. The operation aimed at interrupting the decussating fibres passing to the spinothalamic tracts and, since the decussation was...

Many surgical techniques have been employed for the decompression of symptomatic hydromyelia, including hydromyelio-subarachnoid or hydromyelio-peritoneal shunts, aspiration of the syrinx cavity, terminal ventriculostomy, and ...
متن کاملHigh cervical commissural myelotomy in the treatment of pain.
High cervical myelotomy was carried out on 10 patients. Commissurotomy was performed at the C1-3 level by a combined procedure of deep electrocogulation and sharp splitting of the posterior columns. The immediate results were excellent in all patients, but relapse of pain took place shortly in six of them; there was apparently no relation with the location of pain. No long-term favourable resul...
