Postoperative MRI after unilateral Vo thalamotomy in peripheral posttraumatic dystonia with complex regional pain syndrome

Postoperative coronal T2-weighted MRI following unilateral ventro-oral (Vo) thalamotomy in a middle-aged woman with peripheral posttraumatic dystonia with complex regional pain syndrome. As in a normal MRI, the left side of the screen is the patient's right. The coagulation area is almost identical to the previous target. The red arrow points to the lesioned area.
