Özet

In this article the technique of CT-Guided Selective Cordotomy is described. The advantages of CT guidance in percutaneous cordotomy are the measurement of spinal cord diameters at the lesion site for each individual patient, direct visualization of target electrode relations, demonstration of spinal cord displacement during the procedure and localization of the electrode system in a specific part of the spinothalamic tract. Local destruction of the spinothalamic tract leads to selective cordotomy.
