Popis: BACKGROUND Stereotactic lesion in the Forel's field H (campotomy) was proposed in 1963 to treat Parkinson disease (PD) symptoms. Despite its rationale, very few data on this approach have emerged. Additionally, no study has assessed its effects on nonmotor symptoms, neuropsychological functions and quality of life. OBJECTIVE To provide a prospective 2-yr assessment of motor, nonmotor, neuropsychological and quality of life variables after unilateral campotomy. METHODS Twelve PD patients were prospectively evaluated using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), the Dyskinesia Rating Scale and the Parkinson's disease quality of life questionnaire (PDQ39) before campotomy, and after 6 and 24 mo. Nonmotor, neuropsychiatric, neuropsychological and quality of life variables were assessed. The impact of PD on global health was also rated. RESULTS A significant reduction in contralateral rest tremor (65.7%, P
