It is usually a refractory condition to current medical treatment. Recently, stereotactic procedures such as radiofrequency lesioning or deep brain stimulation provided hope for patients with dystonia; we are reporting the clinical outcome of a patient with hemidystonia treated with unilateral pallidotomy. A 15\u2010year\u2010old boy with no family history of movement disorders and normal perinatal history is presented. He started to have progressive dystonic contractions in the right hand and extended to involve both the upper and lower extremities in the right side over a period of 3 years. He was subjected to a left\u2010sided posteroventral pallidotomy. Postoperatively, his hemidystonia improved over a period of a few weeks. The Unified Dystonia Rating Scale improved by 84%. He maintained the improvements for the 2\u2010year postoperative follow\u2010up period. No complications were encountered. Clinical presentation, surgical techniques, and surgical results are presented. In conclusion, hemidystonia may significantly respond to a contralateral posteroventral pallidotomy. \u00a9 2006 Movement Disorder Society<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.20838","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,13]],"date-time":"2006-03-13T10:47:26Z","timestamp":1142246846000},"page":"852-855","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Unilateral pallidotomy for hemidystonia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Alkhani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saeed","family":"Bohlega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/106.4.981"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/PL00007825"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.870120606"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.870130415"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1227\/01.NEU.0000108643.94730.21"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","first-page":"52","article-title":"Treatment of dystonic syndromes by chronic electrical stimulation of the internal globus pallidus","volume":"47","author":"Cif L","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.48.7.650"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.72.1.59"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"465","DOI":"10.5694\/j.1326-5377.1962.tb20453.x","article-title":"Torsion dystonia complicating childhood hemiplagia","volume":"49","author":"O'Callaghan ED","year":"1962","journal-title":"Med J Aust"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1531-8257(199907)14:4<695::AID-MDS1024>3.0.CO;2-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2000.92.3.0457"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/108.2.463"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.71.5.611"}],"container-title":["Movement Disorders"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fmds.20838","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/mds.20838","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T09:42:01Z","timestamp":1760953321000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/mds.20838"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,6]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,6]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/mds.20838"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/mds.20838","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0885-3185","1531-8257"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0885-3185","type":"print"},{"value":"1531-8257","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,6]]}}}
