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 کاملPallidaldeep brain stimulation for the treatment of DYT6 dystonia: a case report and review of literature
Little is known about the results of pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) in DYT6 dystonia. This will be the first report of DYT6 dystonia treated with pallidal DBS from Iran. A 21 years old male patient with DYT6 dystonia underwent bilateral deep brain stimulation. The target of DBS was the sensorimotor region of the posteroventralglobuspallidusinternus (GPi). DBS parameters included an amp...
متن کاملA Novel Nonsense mutation in PANK2 Gene in Two Patients with Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration
Pantothenate kinase- associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive extrapyramidal dysfunction and iron accumulation in the brain and axonal spheroids in the central nervous system. It has been shown that the disorder is caused by mutations in PANK2 gene which codes for a mitochondrial enzyme participating in coenzyme A biosynthe...
