Fig. 2 — Case no. 1, three-dimensional rendition. Left column (a, b): Initial implantation attempt with traditional approach to the STN which did not sufficiently alleviate right upper extremity tremor. DBS electrode tip barely touches the DRT, bilaterally. Right column (c, d): Second implantation over the here proposed parietal approach. Note how one-pass DBS reaches the STN and the DRT, simultaneously. This second approach led to satisfactory tremor control. DRT dentato-rubro-thalamic tract, STN subthalamic nucleus (blue), DBS deep brain stimulation electrode (octopolar)
