Deep brain stimulation for cervical dystonia.
I read with interest the recent case report by Chang and colleagues on unilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus palli-dus internus (GPi) in a patient with delayed-onset posttraumatic cervical dystonia. 1 I congratulate the authors reporting another patient with cervical dystonia responding to GPi DBS. The unique feature in their case is that unilateral stimulation only was used. Th...
متن کاملStructural white matter abnormalities in patients with idiopathic dystonia.
We investigated whether structural white matter abnormalities, in the form of disruption of axonal coherence and integrity as measured with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), constitute an underlying pathological mechanism of idiopathic dystonia (ID), independent of genotype status. We studied seven subjects with ID: all had cervical dystonia as their main symptom (one patient also had spasmodic d...
متن کاملCervical Dystonia
There is now strong evidence demonstrating that bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) stimulation improves motor function and disability in patients with severe primary generalised, segmental or cervical dystonia. The improvement is gradual, typically occurring over a period of about six months, with pain and then phasic components dissipating before the tonic elements of dystonia. Controlle...
متن کاملPallidal deep brain stimulation in patients with cervical dystonia and severe cervical dyskinesias with cervical myelopathy.
OBJECTIVES Surgical treatment of complex cervical dystonia and of cervical dyskinesias associated with cervical myelopathy is challenging. In this prospective study, the long term effect of chronic pallidal stimulation in cervical dystonia and on combining the technique with spinal surgery in patients with severe cervical dyskinesias and secondary cervical myelopathy is described. METHODS Eig...
متن کاملStructural and Functional Brain Abnormalities in Schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is associated with changes in the structure and functioning of a number of key brain systems, including prefrontal and medial temporal lobe regions involved in working memory and declarative memory, respectively. Imaging techniques provide an unparalleled window into these changes, allowing repeated assessments across pre- and post-onset stages of the disorder and in relation to c...
