Özet

AIM: High frequency stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is nowadays a widely performed surgery for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The field has witnessed a shift from indirect targeting to direct targeting. The question arises whether this change has influenced the final electrode position in STN deep brain stimulation surgery. To address this question, we compared the final electrode positions in atlas-based and magnetic resonance-based targeting methods in our series.
