Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for medically intractable Parkinson's disease (PD) is well established, but carries the inconveniences of frame-based neurosurgery. Previous reports have demonstrated that ventricular shunt placement and some functional procedures can be accurately performed using frameless stereotaxy. We present a report indicating that staged deep brain electrode placement can be accurate and efficacious using a frameless skull-mounted guide.
