An Analysis of Scalp Thickness and Other Novel Risk Factors for Deep Brain Stimulator Infections
INTRODUCTION Deep brain stimulator (DBS) infections are a persistent problem for patients undergoing this procedure. They may require further surgery, treatment with antibiotics, or even removal of the device. To date, no consensus exists on the best practices to avoid DBS infections or what factors predispose patients to an eventual infection. The goal of this study was to examine several pat...

متن کاملDesigning a deep brain stimulator to suppress pathological neuronal synchrony
Some of neuropathologies are believed to be related to abnormal synchronization of neurons. In the line of therapy, designing effective deep brain stimulators to suppress the pathological synchrony among neuronal ensembles is a challenge of high clinical relevance. The stimulation should be able to disrupt the synchrony in the presence of latencies due to imperfect knowledge about parameters of...
متن کاملDyskinetic Storm Induced by Intra-Operative Deep Brain Stimulator Placement
Transient dyskinesia induced by deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD) has previously been reported as an intra-operative side effect usually indicating excellent lead placement and a positive outcome. Generally, stimulation-induced dyskinesia occurs contralateral to the side of stimulation. We report a case in which a patient developed a severe bilateral “dyskinetic storm” u...
متن کاملPsychosis from subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulator lesion effect
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in particular is highly effective in relieving symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it can also have marked psychiatric side effects, including delirium, mania, and psychosis. The etiologies of those effects are not well-understood, and both surgeons and consulting psychiatrists are in need of treatment strategie...
