UNASSIGNED: In this case series, we report successful bilateral VIM-DBS in a 72-year-old and 69-year-old female ET patient with significant ventriculomegaly. VIM-DBS therapy provided an excellent tremor response. After 5 years, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was implanted in the first patient due to an incomplete Hakim-Adams triad, with significant improvement in gait and cognition.
UNASSIGNED: To the best of our knowledge, we present the first report on VIM-DBS in ET patients with ventriculomegaly and illustrate that VIM-DBS can provide an excellent tremor response in patients with medically intractable ET, even in the context of marked ventriculomegaly.
■在这种情况下,我们报道了1例72岁和69岁女性ET患者成功的双侧VIM-DBS,患者有显著的脑室增宽.VIM-DBS治疗提供了优异的震颤反应。五年后,由于Hakim-Adams三联征不完整,第一位患者植入了脑室-腹腔分流术,步态和认知的显著改善。
■据我们所知,我们首次报道了VIM-DBS在患有脑室增宽的ET患者中的应用,并阐明了VIM-DBS可以为患有难治性ET的患者提供良好的震颤反应。即使在明显的脑室增宽的情况下。
