[Treatment of refractory aggressiveness by amygdalotomy and posteromedial hypothalamotomy by radiofrequency].

CONCLUSIONS: Good control of aggressiveness was seen immediately. In some cases it was necessary to reduce the antipsychotic or benzodiazepine medication, as it was seen to increase aggressiveness. Only one case required a second surgical intervention. Follow-up was achieved in 100% of the cases at 24 months and 78% at 36 months.
