Bilateral pallidal stimulation for x-linked dystonia parkinsonism.

OBJECTIVE
To report the clinical benefits of bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) in a patient with X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP).


DESIGN
Case report.


SETTING
Tertiary referral center. Patient A 40-year-old Filipino man with genetically confirmed XDP and severely disabling generalized dystonia. Intervention Bilateral GPi DBS.


MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
The primary outcome measures were the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Scale (BFMDS) severity and disability scores, and the secondary outcome measure was the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scores.


RESULTS
At the 1-year postoperative follow-up, there was 80.4% improvement in the BFMDS severity score and 66.7% improvement in the BFMDS disability score.


CONCLUSION
Bilateral GPi DBS seems to be very effective in improving dystonia in XDP.
