The Role of Neuropsychological Evaluation in the Neurosurgical Treatment of Movement Disorders

Surgical Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease and Other Movement Disorders

Abstract

Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and their physicians have become increasingly accustomed to treatments having few, if any, or reversible side effects (1). Given the concern about the potential neurobehavioral morbidity associated with movement disorders surgery, particularly in instances of bilateral and ablative surgery, it is important to address neurobehavioral functioning and quality of life outcomes. Consistent with the clinical focus of this volume, this chapter does not delve into the role that movement disorders surgery might have in testing current models of the neurocognitive functions of the basal ganglia (for reviews of this issue see Middleton and Strick [2,3]). We focus on neuropsychological evaluation and outcomes in neurosurgery for PD, but also mention the limited literature pertaining to surgery for movement disorders of other conditions (e.g., multiple sclerosis, essential tremor).
