Deep Brain Stimulation for Tourette’s Syndrome: The Case for Targeting the Thalamic Centromedian–Parafascicular Complex
Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a neurologic condition characterized by both motor and phonic tics and is typically associated with psychiatric comorbidities, including obsessive-compulsive disorder/behavior and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and can be psychologically and socially debilitating. It is considered a disorder of the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuitry, as suggested b...
متن کاملThalamic Ventral Intermediate Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Orthostatic Tremor
BACKGROUND Orthostatic tremor (OT) was first described in 1977. It is characterized by rapid tremor of 13-18 Hz and can be recorded in the lower limbs and trunk muscles. OT remains difficult to treat, although some success has been reported with deep brain stimulation (DBS). CASE REPORT We report a 68-year-old male with OT who did not improve significantly after bilateral thalamic stimulation...
متن کاملThalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease
With recent advances in neuroimaging and neurosurgical techniques as well as better understanding of functional motor brain circuits, there is increasing evidence that electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be a powerful and safe therapeutic option for medically intractable movement disorders and neuropsychiatric diseases. For more than half a century, the ventrolateral (VL) nucleus of the...

متن کاملThalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Orthostatic Tremor
BACKGROUND Orthostatic tremor is an uncommon disorder manifest by high frequency, low amplitude leg tremor upon weight bearing. Treatment with oral tremor agents is inconsistent and usually not satisfactory. METHODS We implanted bilateral ventralis intermedius nuclei deep brain stimulators into an 82-year-old male with refractory orthostatic tremor. RESULTS The patient had a marked subjecti...
