Briefly we described the posteroventral pallidotomy technique introducing a new target situated more anteriorly to the classic Laitinen´s pallidotomy, in this way we obtain relief in the whole motor signs of Parkinson´s disease. We believe it is the result of the interruption of efferents fibers from pallidum to motor thalamus, and coagulation of the majority of somatomotor cells of the posteroventral pallidum.
