New tool to localize seizure onset zone from sEEG signal-connectivity epileptogenicity index
Objective: The main diagnostic challenge of drug resistant epilepsies is to find epileptogenic zone, which will be enough to remove to reach seizure freedom. These…A case report of myoclonus-dystonia with isolated myoclonus phenotype and novel mutation successfully treated with deep brain stimulation
Objective: Report the case of a patient with a novel SGCE gene mutation and isolated myoclonus phenotype who was successfully treated with deep brain stimulation…Intraparenchymal Cyst Formation and Spontaneous Regression following Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery
Objective: To present a case that highlights the recognition of a rare complication following deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery and its management. Background: Deep brain…Acute Medically Refractory Hemichorea-Hemiballismus Treated by Unilateral Pallidotomy: A Case Report
Objective: To describe the case of a 31-year-old man with partially treated cryptococcal meningitis complicated by acute hemiballismus treated with unilateral radiofrequency pallidotomy. Background: Hemiballismus has classically been described as a result of vascular or metabolic insults to…Delayed resolution of hemifacial spasm following suboccipital craniectomy in a patient with Arnold Chiari malformation type I
Objective: We report delayed resolution of hemifacial spasm (HFS), 11 years after suboccipital decompression for Arnold-Chiari type I malformation (ACM) with brainstem compression. Background: Hemifacial…Sexual dysfunction associated with deep brain stimulation of the Globus Pallidus pars interna
Objective: To explore sexual dysfunction (SD) in a dystonia patient with deep brain stimulation of the Globus Pallidus pars interna (GPi DBS). Background: There is…Thalamic deep brain stimulation improves tremor and spatio-temporal characteristics of gait in medically refractory orthostatic tremor
Objective: To characterize response to thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a patient with medically refractory orthostatic tremor using instrumented measures of tremor and mobility.…Non-Staged Bilateral GPi DBS Lead Revision Using iMRI: A Case Report
Objective: To demonstrate the feasibility of non-staged intraoperative MRI (iMRI) deep brain stimulation (DBS) lead revision under general anesthesia (GA). Background: DBS lead revision surgery…Increased Syllable Duration as a Marker for Dysarthria in Essential Tremor Patients with Deep Brain Stimulation
Objective: To establish phonetic parameters that enable objectivation and measurability of stimulation-induced dysarthria (SID) in essential tremor (ET) patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) in…MRI guided high-intensity focused ultrasound thalamotomy for essential tremor: efficacy and safety at 1 year follow up
Objective: To report our single-center experience with unilateral MRI guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) thalamotomy for patients with disabling essential tremor (ET). Background: ET causes functional disability, social isolationand psychological distress. Some patients are refractory…
