Aligning Dentato-Rubro-Thalamic Tract and Subthalamic Nucleus Targets in a Patient with Comorbid Essential Tremor and Parkinson ’s Disease: Case Report

We present a patient with comorbid ET and PD in whom we used bilaterally a single parietal traje ctory to align the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract and the subthalamic nucleus. Although parietal trajectories are challenging, we reached satisfactory outcomes for both conditions without complications. Single-electrode deep brain stimulation of the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract and the subthalamic nuc leus through a parietal approach may represent a feasible treatment option in this patient group.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg
