A Case of Myoclonus-Dystonia Responding to Low-frequency Pallidal Stimulation. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • BACKGROUND: High-frequency pallidal stimulation has been shown to improve various types of dystonia, including myoclonus-dystonia. CASE REPORT: We report a case of epsilon sarcoglycan mutation-negative myoclonus-dystonia with response to low-frequency bilateral pallidal stimulation. DISCUSSION: Low-frequency pallidal stimulation provides an effective means of treating various dystonias, regardless of genetic status, as in our case, as it provides increased programming options with fewer adverse effects.
