Unexpected death after occipital condylar fracture.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The ventro-lateral thalamus is the stereotactic target of choice for severe intention tremor. Nevertheless, the optimal target area has remained controversial, and targeting of the subthalamic area has been suggested to be superior. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Eleven patients with disabling intention tremor of dif...
