Pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) of globus pallidus internus (Gpi) has emerged as an effective treatment for dystonia. The experience is however limited concerning focal dystonias and to date only a few cases of pallidal DBS in the treatment of Meige syndrome have been published.
METHODS/RESULTS: We here present a patient with Meige syndrome in whom unilateral pallidal DBS failed to improve the axial symptoms, but bilateral stimulation resulted in a major improvement. The Burke-Fahn-Marsden score (BFM) improved by 71.5% and the patient's blepharospasm was abolished.
The results suggest bilateral pallidal DBS may be an effective treatment for Meige syndrome.
苍白球内侧部(Gpi)的苍白球深部脑刺激(DBS)已成为治疗肌张力障碍的有效方法。然而,关于局灶性肌张力障碍的经验有限,迄今为止,仅有少数苍白球DBS治疗Meige综合征的病例发表。
方法/结果:我们在此报告一名Meige综合征患者,单侧苍白球DBS未能改善轴性症状,但双侧刺激导致显著改善。伯克-法恩-马斯登评分(BFM)提高了71.5%,患者的眼睑痉挛消失。
结果表明双侧苍白球DBS可能是治疗Meige综合征的有效方法。
