Deep brain stimulation in a dentatorubral-pallidoluyisian atrophy patient with myoclonic dystonia

Highlights • A patient with myoclonic dystonia caused by dentatorubral-pallidoluyisian atropy (DRPLA) was successfully controlled with bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi). • The use of DBS in patients with secondary dystonia is controversial. • However, GPi-D...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • A patient with myoclonic dystonia caused by dentatorubral-pallidoluyisian atropy (DRPLA) was successfully controlled with bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi). • The use of DBS in patients with secondary dystonia is controversial. • However, GPi-DBS seems to be a therapeutic option for secondary dystonia in carefully selected patients.
