<h3>Background</h3> For patients with psychiatric illnesses remaining refractory to 'standard' therapies, neurosurgical procedures may be considered. Guidelines for safe and ethical conduct of such have previously independently been proposed by various local regional expert groups. <h3>Methods</h3> To expand on these earlier documents, representative members continental international societies, joined efforts further elaborate adopt a pragmatic worldwide set guidelines. These are intended...
Subthalamic nucleus stimulation is emerging as an effective surgical therapy for Parkinson's disease. It considered to be a safe procedure with little morbidity, the most common complications being intracranial haemorrhage and hardware failure. We report on three cases of depression, one whom attempted suicide after bilateral subthalamic stimulation.
<i>Objective:</i> To evaluate the incidence of surgical and hardware-associated complications deep brain stimulation (DBS) for a range movement disorders. <i>Methods:</i> The study design is retrospective analysis review hardware DBS performed by single surgeon from 1999 to 2009. A total 153 cases (298 electrodes) various disorders minimum follow-up 1 year have been included. Two patients could not be implanted. further 54 who underwent change implantable pulse...
Introduction: To evaluate the current utilization and challenges in fully implementing use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment Asia Oceania. Methods: We conducted a medical literature search to identify DBS research performed by investigators with primary affiliation Asian Oceania countries between March 1, 2013, 2019, followed an international survey-based study. Additionally, we obtained added information regarding opportunities from technology/industry perspective within China...
Subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation is an established surgical treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). Though the motor benefits of STN are well understood, its cognitive and behavioral effects still not fully understood. Manic psychosis, hypersexuality, pathological gambling mood swings associated with advanced PD. There have been reports to suggest improvement or worsening in these symptoms following deep brain (DBS). We report two cases as sole side-effects despite good clinical on...
The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) is a potential target for gait disorders. We report 4 cases of bilateral PPN stimulation in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) patients with short-term (6 months) and long-term (18 follow-ups. Patients PSP who had disturbances, but were able to walk or without assistance, selected. patients' median age was 64 years the disease duration 3 years. Bilateral deep brain (DBS) performed. pacemaker programmed using bipolar mode lower frequencies (20-45 Hz)....
✓ Between January and April, 1990, three consecutive cases of syringomyelia were treated by percutaneous placement thecoperitoneal shunts. Two these patients had undergone craniovertebral decompression earlier at other centers the third was primarily a shunt. In each case, syrinx associated with Chiari I malformation, although clinical presentation due to myelopathy. All obtained unequivocal benefit from this simple procedure. Postoperative magnetic resonance images showed considerable...
Background Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunctions and nonmotor symptoms. Current treatments do not alter progression, highlighting the need for alternative therapies. Music, dance, mindfulness meditation have shown potential to improve symptoms quality of life in patients with PD. Objective This study aims evaluate effectiveness dance or music on PD cognitive functions, mood, behavior, caregiver burden. Methods single-blinded,...
Background Radiofrequency lesioning (RFL) though used since the 1950s, had been replaced by DBS in 1990s. The availability of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for has renewed interest RFL. Objective This paper analysis RFL contemporary Functional Neurosurgery various indications and its outcome. Complication rates are compared with same author’s experience DBS. Methods One hundred seven patients underwent between 1998 2019. Indications included Parkinson’s Disease (PD), tremors,...
Anterior capsulotomy and stimulation of the anterior limb capsule have been used to treat intractable obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) [1]. On longer-term follow-up patients undergoing internal it was found that responders had electrode closure bed nucleus stria terminalis (BST). This prompted Nuttin colleagues [2] propose BST as a target for refractory OCD.We recently implanted patient with OCD using protocols suggested by et al. [3]. The 15 years. in form religious thoughts moral...
A 74 year old male presented with 1 month history of weakness in right upper limb and motor aphasia for 15 days. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the brain showed three discrete ring enhancing lesions. An image guided awake craniotomy biopsy a lesion was performed. The histopathological examination revealed it to be grade III Oligodendroglioma. This rare case multicentric high oligodendroglioma has never been reported literature. We report such relevant review
