Preoperative MRI in a middle-aged woman with peripheral posttraumatic dystonia with complex regional pain syndrome showing the planned targeting for a unilateral ventro-oral (Vo) thalamotomy. The preoperative target is in the red cross line center. (A) Axial and (B) coronal sections on T1-weighted MRI. Unlike a regular MRI, the screen's right side corresponds to the patient's right side. The light blue line points to the trajectory, and the red arrow points to the target. (From: Kuramoto Y, Taira T, Tsuji S, Kubo T, Yoshimura S.
