Abstract
We describe a patient with myoclonic dystonia caused by dentatorubral-pallidoluyisian atrophy (DRPLA), which was successfully controlled with bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi). DRPLA is a rare disease which can progressively cause a loss or degeneration of neurons in the globus pallidus, dentate nucleus, subthalamic nucleus, and red nucleus. This observation is another example of secondary dystonia which can be controlled by GPi-DBS in carefully selected patients.Entities:
