Language changes after neurosurgery for parkinsonism

Approximately one-fourth of a series of 123 patients with parkinsonism and other movement disorders showed language changes after thalamotomy, pallidectomy, and mixed pallidectomy-thalamotomy.

Zusammenfassung:Approximately one-fourth of a series of 123 patients with parkinsonism and other movement disorders showed language changes after thalamotomy, pallidectomy, and mixed pallidectomy-thalamotomy. Incidence of language change was higher in cases of left thalamotomy, multiple thalamotomies, and mixed procedures. Language impairments were predominantly of higher language functions and were not attributable to generalized intellectual impairment.
