 note = {application/pdf, A 50-year-old man had undergone right nucleus ventrointermedius (Vim) thalamotomy 1 year previously, resulting in the disappearance of left hand tremor. However, he presented with right distal and proximal tremor including the axial trunk, neck, and head. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the left Vim for these symptoms was unsuccessful. Attempts were made to stimulate the left Vim, nucleus ventralis lateralis, and subthalamic nucleus (STN), but no significant improvement was obtained after repeat surgery. However, subsequent improvement of the symptoms including proximal tremor was very marked even without DBS stimulation. Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated lesion and edema in the posteromedial area of the STN. Mechanical injury of the area caused by the surgical procedures may have contributed to the improvement in his persistent symptoms., Article},
