This video showcases stereotactic radiofrequency lesioning of the caudal zona incerta (CZi) for parkinsonian tremor in a 70-year-old patient. The preoperative evaluation, including imaging and frame placement, is detailed. The surgical procedure involves meticulous targeting and trajectory planning. Intraoperative stimulation is utilized for motor response assessment. Two temporary lesioning phases precede the final procedure at 75°C. The postoperative CT scan highlights the lesion site. Immediate tremor relief is observed postoperatively, with the effect persisting at the 1-month follow-up. Supporting readings underscore the efficacy and safety of CZi for tremor management.
