Deep brain stimulation for dystonia.
The few controlled studies that have been carried out have shown that bilateral internal globus pallidum stimulation is a safe and long-term effective treatment for hyperkinetic disorders. However, most recent published data on deep brain stimulation (DBS) for dystonia, applied to different targets and patients, are still mainly from uncontrolled case reports (especially for secondary dystonia)...
متن کاملDeep brain stimulation of globuspallidusinternus for DYT1 positive primary generalized dystonia
Background : Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globuspallidusinternus (GPi) is recommended as a promising technique for the management of the primary generalized dystonia (PGD) with DYT1 gene mutation. We present the first report of DBS results in Iranian patients with DYT1 positive PGD. Methods : Nine patients who suffered from severely disabling DYT1 positive PGD consecutively were recr...

I read with interest the recent case report by Chang and colleagues on unilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus palli-dus internus (GPi) in a patient with delayed-onset posttraumatic cervical dystonia. 1 I congratulate the authors reporting another patient with cervical dystonia responding to GPi DBS. The unique feature in their case is that unilateral stimulation only was used. Th...
متن کاملGlobus pallidus deep brain stimulation in dystonia.
Globus pallidus deep brain stimulation (GPi-DBS) is a useful alternative in the treatment of dystonia. Patients selected for GPi-DBS were prospectively rated with the Unified Dystonia Rating Scale (UDRS). Also, "blinded" videotape assessments were performed. Eleven patients were identified. Compared with pre-DBS scores, there were improvements in mean total UDRS score (15.3%) and in the followi...
متن کاملAnesthesia for Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation
In patients refractory to medical therapy, deep brain stimulations (DBSs) have emerged as the treatment of movement disorders particularly Parkinson's disease. Their use has also been extended in pediatric and adult patients to treat epileptogenic foci. We here performed a retrospective chart review of anesthesia records from 28 pediatric cases of patients who underwent DBS implantation for dys...
