| Abstract: | Stereotatic radiosurgery is typically not the first line of treatment for cervical dystonia. We present a patient with a rare cervical dystonia induced by a venous angioma in the right basal ganglion. The patient was successfully treated with a gamma knife thalamotomy after failed treatments of botulinum toxin injections and peripheral denervation. |
