Abstract | :
Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder with disability in voluntary actions such as eating and writing. First-line treatment involves pharmacological agents, although efficacy is limited by side effects. In these patients, functional neurosurgery can be considered. Magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy offers a non-invasive solution for treatment. This paper examines an original cohort of ET patients undergoing MRgFUS thalamotomy and discusses the anesthetic management of these cases. |
