Purpose/Objective:

treatment in neurosurgical pathologies, including functional pathologies such as essential tremor and tremor associated with Parkinson's disease where the ventral intermediate nucleus of thalamus has been used as a target with proven success. Although most treatments have been reported with gamma knife, radiosurgery with LINAC has also shown successful results.

Material/Methods:

Between March and April of this year at the Puebla Specialties Hospital of the IMSS, radiosurgical treatment was carried out on 5 patients with Parkinson's disease refractory to pharmacological medical treatment, all with different forms of presentation from spastic to kinetic.

Results:

The dose used of 75 to 85 Gy was given in a single session randomly, with monthly monitoring maintained until now. Although the initial period to assess the effects of radiosurgery treatment is 8 to 10 months, at 6 months we have observed an improvement of at least 60% in terms of control of involuntary movements of patients, likewise these benefits have been manifested in neurological tests such as UPDRS, Hoehn-Yahr and Scwarb-England.

Conclusion:

In subsequent months, close monitoring will continue, waiting for greater improvement with the combination of pharmacological medical treatment and waiting for the average effect time of radiosurgery.
