Globus Pallidus Interna Deep Brain Stimulation for Chorea-Acanthocytosis
Chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by involuntary choreiform movements and erythrocytic acanthocytosis. Pharmacotherapy for control of involuntary movements has generally been of limited benefit. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has recently been used for treatment of some refractory cases of ChAc. We report here on the effect of bilateral high-frequency DBS of...
متن کاملDeep Brain Stimulation of the Antero-Medial Globus Pallidus Interna for Tourette Syndrome
BACKGROUND We have previously reported the results of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the antero-medial globus pallidus interna (GPi) for severe Tourette Syndrome (TS) in 11 patients. We extend this case series to 17 patients and a longer follow-up to a maximum of 46 months. METHODS 17 patients (14 male; mean age 29.1 years, range 17-51 years) with severe and medically intractable TS were imp...
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 کاملGlobus Pallidus Interna Deep Brain Stimulation in a Patient with Medically Intractable Meige Syndrome
Medical therapies in patients with Meige syndrome, including botulinum toxin injection, have been limited because of incomplete response or adverse side effects. We evaluated a patient with Meige syndrome who was successfully treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the globus pallidus interna (GPi). This case report and other previous reports suggest that bilateral GPi DBS may be an effect...
متن کاملComparison of Globus Pallidus Interna and Subthalamic Nucleus in Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson Disease: An Institutional Experience and Review
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has revolutionized the lives of patients of Parkinson disease, offering therapeutic options to those not benefiting entirely from medications alone. With its proven track record of outperforming the best medical management, the goal is to unlock the full potential of this therapy. Currently, the Globus Pallidus Interna (GPi) and Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) are both vi...
