Parkinsonism Relat Disord. 2006 Sep;12(6):372-5. doi: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2006.02.003. Epub 2006 May 30.
Camptocormia, known also as "bent spine syndrome", is characterized by involuntary truncal flexion of the thoraco-lumbar spine that appears in the sitting or standing position. Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most frequent etiologic factor, this postural disorder responds poorly to levodopa or other medications. We report a PD patient in whom chronic bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation produced a striking alleviation of camptocormia.
弯腰驼背症,也被称为“脊柱弯曲综合征”,其特征是胸腰椎在坐姿或站姿时出现不自主的躯干前屈。虽然帕金森病(PD)是最常见的病因,但这种姿势障碍对左旋多巴或其他药物反应不佳。我们报告了一名帕金森病患者,其慢性双侧丘脑底核刺激显著缓解了弯腰驼背症。
