Dr.Angelo Franzini C.V.

Dr. Angelo Franzini  was born in Milan , Italy in 1951. Low-tenent in the Italian Aerforce after the graduation in medicine in 1976. He was graduated in Neurosurgery  in 1980 at the University of Milan. Dr. Franzini pioneered Computer-Assisted Stereotactic Neurosurgery and techniques for stereotactic biopsy of brain tumors and functional neurosurgery (see the below references 1-50). . Dr. Franzini is internationally known not only as a brain  surgeon but is also considered an expert in the field of peripheral nerve surgery and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) . He introduced  the original surgical technique for the minimally invasive release of carpal tunnel syndrome( 54 ) . In the last ten years Dr.Franzini introduced  the technique of hypothalamic stimulation for the treatment of refractory cluster headache ( 32 ) and for the treatment of intractable impulsive and aggressive behaviour  (16 ). He also introduced   the first surgical treatment  for  the so called " Thalamic hand syndrome  ( 48) and fixed dystonia(5 ).Now he works in Milan as Neurosurgeon involved in many research programs dealing with movement disorders (22) , behaviour disorders and pain.
