Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is an autonomic disorder affecting patients with severe acquired brain injury characterized by intermittent sympathetic discharges with limited therapeutic options. We hypothesized that the PSH pathophysiology could be interrupted via stellate ganglion blockade (SGB).
A patient with PSH after midbrain hemorrhage followed by hydrocephalus obtained near-complete resolution of sympathetic events for 140 days after SGB.
SGB is a promising therapy for PSH, overcoming the limitations of systemic medications and may serve to recalibrate aberrant autonomic states.
阵发性交感神经过度兴奋(PSH)是一种影响严重获得性脑损伤患者的自主神经障碍,其特征为间歇性交感神经放电,治疗选择有限。我们假设通过星状神经节阻滞(SGB)可以阻断 PSH 的病理生理学。
一位中脑出血后继发脑积水的患者,在 SGB 后 140 天几乎完全缓解了交感事件。
SGB 是 PSH 的一种有前途的治疗方法,克服了全身药物治疗的局限性,并可能有助于重新校准异常的自主状态。
