Deep Brain Stimulation for Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration
Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is usually associated with dystonia, which is typically severe and progressive over time. Pallidal stimulation (GPi DBS) has been carried out in selected cases of PKAN with drug-resistant dystonia with variable results. We report a 30-month follow-up study of a 30-year-old woman with PKAN-related dystonia treated with GPi DBS. Postoperativ...
متن کاملAnesthetic management for deep brain stimulation in a patient with pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration
Pantothenatekinase-associated neurodegeneration is a rare progressive disorder characterized by dystonia, rigidity, choreoathetosis and mental deterioration. Patients requiring general anesthesia with this syndrome may have many anesthesia-relevant symptoms that influence the preanesthetic management, the induction of anesthesia and the postoperative care. In this case report, we present the an...

متن کاملPantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration
Disease summary: Pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that was first described by the neuropathologist Julius Hallervorden and the neurologist Hugo Spatz in 1922 [1]. The active involvement of Hallervorden in euthanasia in Germany during World War II and the discovery of the defective gene (mutation in pantothenate kinase 2 gene, located...
متن کاملPantothenate - kinase associated neurodegeneration.
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation is a group of disorders, the commonest of which is PKAN (Pantothenate kinase associated neurodegeneration). We present here, a case of 18 year old boy with progressive dementia, pyramidal and extrapyramidal involvement, dysarthria, seizures and myoclonus. The patient was diagnosed as PKAN (formerly Hallervorden Spatz disease) after "eye of tiger" a...
