Autopsy findings are reported from a patient with chorea-acanthocytosis treated for 2 years by deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the motor thalamus. Postoperative testing showed a progressive improvement in axial truncal spasms. Although relatively high currents were used for 2 years in this patient, postmortem analysis showed minimal tissue damage in the vicinity of the electrode tip. It is concluded that DBS has little impact on the surrounding tissues.
报告了一名患有舞蹈病-棘红细胞增多症的患者的尸检结果，该患者接受了2年的运动丘脑深部脑刺激（DBS）治疗。术后测试显示轴向躯干痉挛有逐渐改善。尽管该患者在2年中使用了相对较高的电流，但尸检分析显示电极尖端附近的组织损伤最小。得出的结论是，DBS对周围组织影响很小。
