Abstract: The progress that has occurred in our understanding of the pathophysiology of idiopathic dystonia, combined with successful surgical treatment of drug-induced dystonia in Parkinson’s disease (PD), have led to renewed interest in the surgical treatment of dystonia. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current state of surgery for treatment of dystonia with special emphasis on developments during the last five years. For a comprehensive review of this field prior to 1996, see Lang (1).
