Hemichorea (HC) and its severe form hemiballismus (HB) are rare movement disorders which can be medically refractory to treatments and may need surgical intervention.
We report 3 patients with HC-HB who had meaningful clinical improvement with unilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus interna (GPi). We identified 8 prior cases of HC-HB treated with GPi-DBS, and a majority of these patients experienced significant improvement in their symptoms.
GPi-DBS can be considered in medically refractory HC-HB in carefully selected patients. However, data is limited to small case series and further studies are needed.
偏侧舞蹈症(HC)及其严重形式——偏侧投掷症(HB)是罕见的运动障碍,可能对治疗有抗药性,需要手术干预。
我们报告了 3 例 HC-HB 患者,他们接受单侧苍白球内侧部(GPi)脑深部电刺激(DBS)治疗后,临床症状有明显改善。我们发现了 8 例 HC-HB 接受 GPi-DBS 治疗的病例,这些患者的症状都有显著改善。
对于经过慎重选择的药物难治性 HC-HB 患者,可考虑 GPi-DBS 治疗。然而,目前数据仅限于小样本病例系列研究,还需要进一步研究。
