Abstract
Complication mitigation in deep brain stimulation has been a topic matter of much discussion in the literature. In this article, we examine how neurosurgeons as individuals and as a field generated and adapted techniques to prevent infection, lead fracture/lead migration, and suboptimal outcomes in both the acute period and longitudinally. The authors performed a MEDLINE search inclusive of articles from 1987 to June 2023 including human studies written in English. Using the Rayyan platform, two reviewers (J.P. and R.M.) performed a title screen. Of the 776 articles, 252 were selected by title screen and 172 from abstract review for full-text evaluation. Ultimately, 124 publications were evaluated. We describe the initial complications and inefficiencies at the advent of deep brain stimulation and detail changes instituted by surgeons that reduced them. Furthermore, we discuss the trend in both undesired short-term and long-term outcomes with emphasis on how surgeons recognized and modified their practice to provide safer and better procedures. This scoping review adds to the literature as a guide to both new neurosurgeons and seasoned neurosurgeons alike to understand better what innovations have been trialed over time as we embark on novel targets and neuromodulatory technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation is a common treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite strong efficacy in well-selected patients, complications can occur. Intraoperative micro-electrode recording (MER) can enhance efficacy by improving lead accuracy. However, there is controversy as to whether MER increases risk of hemorrhage. OBJECTIVES To provide a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis reporting complication rates from deep brain stimulation in PD. We also interrogate the association between hemorrhage and MER. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were implemented while querying the Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. All included studies were randomized controlled trials and prospective case series with 5 or more patients. Primary outcomes included rates of overall revision, infection, lead malposition, surgical site and wound complications, hardware-related complications, and seizure. The secondary outcome was the relationship between number of MER tracks and hemorrhage rate. RESULTS 262 articles with 21,261 patients were included in the analysis. Mean follow-up was 25.8 months (range 0-133). Complication rates were: revision 4.9%, infection 4.2%, lead malposition 3.3%, surgical site complications 2.8%, hemorrhage 2.4%, hardware-related complications 2.4%, and seizure 1.9%. While hemorrhage rate did not increase with single-track MER (odds ratio, 3.49; P = 0.29), there was a significant non-linear increase with each additional track. CONCLUSION Infection and lead malposition were the most common complications. Hemorrhage risk increases with more than one MER track. These results highlight the challenge of balancing surgical accuracy and perioperative risk.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an effective neurosurgical treatment for Parkinson's disease. Surgical accuracy is a critical determinant to achieve an adequate DBS effect on motor performance. A two-millimetre surgical accuracy is commonly accepted, but scientific evidence is lacking. A systematic review and meta-analysis of study-level and individual patient data (IPD) was performed by a comprehensive search in MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library. Primary outcome measures were (1) radial error between the implanted electrode and target; (2) DBS motor improvement on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (motor examination). On a study level, meta-regression analysis was performed. Also, publication bias was assessed. For IPD meta-analysis, a linear mixed effects model was used. Forty studies (1391 patients) were included, reporting radial errors of 0.45-1.86 mm. Errors within this range did not significantly influence the DBS effect on motor improvement. Additional IPD analysis (206 patients) revealed that a mean radial error of 1.13±0.75 mm did not significantly change the extent of DBS motor improvement. Our meta-analysis showed a huge publication bias on accuracy data in DBS. Therefore, the current literature does not provide an unequivocal upper threshold for acceptable accuracy of STN-DBS surgery. Based on the current literature, DBS-electrodes placed within a 2 mm range of the intended target do not have to be repositioned to enhance motor improvement after STN-DBS for Parkinson's disease. However, an indisputable upper cut-off value for surgical accuracy remains to be established. PROSPERO registration number is CRD42018089539.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in Parkinson's disease is effective; however, its mechanism is unclear. To investigate the degree of neuronal terminal survival after STN-DBS, the authors examined the striatal dopamine transporter levels before and after treatment in association with clinical improvement using PET with [11C]2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-fluorophenyl)tropane ([11C]CFT). METHODS Ten patients with Parkinson's disease who had undergone bilateral STN-DBS were scanned twice with [11C]CFT PET just before and 1 year after surgery. Correlation analysis was conducted between [11C]CFT binding and off-period Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores assessed preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS [11C]CFT uptake reduced significantly in the posterodorsal putamen contralateral to the parkinsonism-dominant side after 1 year; however, an increase was noted in the contralateral anteroventral putamen and ipsilateral ventral caudate postoperatively (p < 0.05). The percentage increase in [11C]CFT binding was inversely correlated with the preoperative binding level in the bilateral anteroventral putamen, ipsilateral ventral caudate, contralateral anterodorsal putamen, contralateral posteroventral putamen, and contralateral nucleus accumbens. The percentage reduction in UPDRS-II score was significantly correlated with the percentage increase in [11C]CFT binding in the ipsilateral anteroventral putamen (p < 0.05). The percentage reduction in UPDRS-III score was significantly correlated with the percentage increase in [11C]CFT binding in the ipsilateral anteroventral putamen, ventral caudate, and nucleus accumbens (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS STN-DBS increases dopamine transporter levels in the anteroventral striatum, which is correlated with the motor recovery and possibly suggests the neuromodulatory effect of STN-DBS on dopaminergic terminals in Parkinson's disease patients. A preoperative level of anterior striatal dopamine transporter may predict reserve capacity of STN-DBS on motor recovery.

Abstract
The iHandU system is a wearable device that quantitatively evaluates changes in wrist rigidity during Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, allowing clinicians to find optimal stimulation settings that reduce patient symptoms. Robotic accuracy is also especially relevant in DBS surgery, as accurate electrode placement is required to increase effectiveness and reduce side effects. The main goal of this work is to integrate the advantages of each system in a closed-loop system between an industrial robot and the iHandU system. For this purpose, a comparative analysis of a Leksell stereotactic frame and neuro-robotic system accuracies was performed using a lab-made phantom. The neuro-robotic system reached 90% of trajectories, while the stereotactic frame reached all trajectories. There are significant differences in accuracy errors between these trajectories (p < 0.0001), which can be explained by the high correlation between the neuro-robotic system errors and the distance from the trajectory to the origin of the Leksell coordinate system (ρ = 0.72). Overall accuracy is comparable to existing neuro-robotic systems, achieving a deviation of (1.0 ± 0.5) mm at the target point. The accuracy of DBS electrode positioning and stimulation parameters choice leads to better long-term clinical outcomes in Parkinson's disease patients. Our neuro-robotic system combines real-time feedback assessment of the patient's symptomatic response and automatic positioning of the DBS electrode in a specific brain area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The brainstem has the critical role of regulating cardiac and respiratory function and it also provides motor and sensory function to the face via the cranial nerves. Despite the observation of a brainstem lesion in a radiological examination, it is difficult to obtain tissues for a pathological diagnosis because of the location and small volume of the brainstem. Thus, we aimed to share our 6-year experience with stereotactic biopsies from brainstem lesions and confirm the value and safety of stereotactic biopsy on this highly eloquent area in this study. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 42 adult patients who underwent stereotactic biopsy on brainstem lesions from 2015 to 2020. The radiological findings, surgical records, pathological diagnosis, and postoperative complications of all patients were analyzed. RESULTS Histopathological diagnoses were made in 40 (95.2%) patients. Astrocytic tumors were diagnosed in 29 (69.0%) patients, diffuse large B cell lymphoma in 5 (11.9%) patients, demyelinating disease in 4 (9.5%) patients, germinoma in 1 (2.4%) patient, and radiation necrosis in 1 (2.4%) patient. In the 40 patients with successful stereotactic biopsy, 10 (25.0%) patients had inconsistent preoperative radiological diagnosis and postoperative pathological diagnosis. In addition, there was a difference between the treatments prescribed by the radiological and pathological diagnoses in 8 out of 10 patients whose diagnoses changed after biopsy. There was no operative mortality among the 42 patients. CONCLUSIONS A pathological diagnosis can be made safely and efficiently in brainstem lesions using stereotactic biopsy. This pathological diagnosis will enable patients to receive appropriate treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In 33 consecutive patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) without microelectrode recording (MER), we assessed and validated the precision and accuracy of direct targeting of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) using preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and stereotactic computed tomography (CT) image fusion combined with immediate postoperative stereotactic CT and postoperative MRI, and we report on the side effects and clinical results up to 6 months' follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperative nonstereotactic MRI and stereotactic CT images were merged and used for planning the trajectory and final lead position. Immediate postoperative stereotactic CT and postoperative nonstereotactic MRI provided the validation of the final electrode position. Changes in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III (UPDRS III) scores and the levodopa equivalent daily doses (LEDD) and appearance of adverse side effects were assessed. RESULTS The mean Euclidian distance (ED) error between the planned position and the final position of the lead in the left STN was 1.69 ± 0.82 mm and that in the right STN was 2.12 ± 1.00. The individual differences between planned and final position in each of the three coordinates were less than 2 mm. The UPDRS III scores improved by 75% and LEDD decreased by 45%. Few patients experienced complications, such as postoperative infection (n = 1), or unwanted side effects, such as emotional instability (n = 1). CONCLUSION Our results confirm that direct targeting of an STN on stereotactic CT merged with MRI could be a valid method for placement the DBS electrode. The magnitude of our targeting error is comparable with the reported errors when using MER and other direct targeting approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is considerable debate regarding the use of intraoperative microelectrode recording (MER) in deep brain stimulation (DBS). OBJECTIVE To determine if the use of intraoperative MER impacts the final position of the lead implant in DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus (GPi) and to evaluate the incidence of complications. METHODS The authors conducted a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent STN and GPi DBS with MER, at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston from June 1, 2009 to October 1, 2013 to compare initial and final coordinates. Hemorrhagic and infectious complications were reviewed. RESULTS A total of 90 lead implants on 46 patients implanted at the center during this time period were reviewed and included in the study. A statistically significant difference between the initial and final coordinates was observed in the superior-inferior direction with a mean difference of 0.40 mm inferiorly (±0.96 mm, P<0.05) and 0.96 mm inferiorly (±1.32 mm, P<0.05) in the STN and GPi locations, respectively. A nonstatistically significant difference was also observed in the anterior-posterior direction in both locations. There were no intraparenchymal hemorrhages on postoperative computed tomography. Two patients developed postoperative seizures (7.4%). One STN electrode (1.1%) required revision because of a suboptimal response. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative MER in STN and GPi DBS implant does not seem to have a higher rate of surgical complications compared with historical series not using MER and might also be useful in determining the final lead location.

Abstract
Bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Traditionally, STN DBS for PD is performed by using microelectrode recording (MER) and/or intraoperative macrostimulation under local anesthesia (LA). However, many patients cannot tolerate the long operation time under LA without medication. In addition, it cannot be even be performed on PD patients with poor physical and neurological condition. Recently, it has been reported that STN DBS under general anesthesia (GA) can be successfully performed due to the feasible MER under GA, as well as the technical advancement in direct targeting and intraoperative imaging. The authors reviewed the previously published literature on STN DBS under GA using intraoperative imaging and MER, focused on discussing the technique, clinical outcome, and the complication, as well as introducing our single-center experience. Based on the reports of previously published studies and ours, GA did not interfere with the MER signal from STN. STN DBS under GA without intraoperative stimulation shows similar or better clinical outcome without any additional complication compared to STN DBS under LA. Long-term follow-up with a large number of the patients would be necessary to validate the safety and efficacy of STN DBS under GA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) has been applied to clinic for approximately 30 years. The goal of this review is to explore the similarities and differences between "awake" and "asleep" DBS techniques. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was carried out to identify relevant studies and review articles describing applications of "awake" or "asleep" DBS for Parkinson's disease. The surgical procedures, clinical outcomes, costs and complications of each technique were compared in detail through literature review. RESULTS The surgical procedures of awake and asleep DBS surgeries rely upon different methods for verification of intended target acquisition. The existing research results demonstrated that the stereotactic targeting accuracy of lead placement obtained by either method is reliable. There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes, costs, or complications between the two techniques. CONCLUSION The surgical and clinical outcomes of asleep DBS for PD are comparable to those of awake DBS.

Abstract
Introduction: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment of movement disorders; but recently there has been an increasing trend toward the ablative procedure magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFU). DBS is an efficient neuromodulatory technique but associated with surgical complications. MRIgFUS is an incision-free method that allows thermal lesioning, with fewer surgical complications but irreversible effects.Areas covered: We look at current and prospective aspects of both techniques. In DBS, appropriate patient selection, improvement in surgical expertise, target accuracy (preoperative and intraoperative imaging), neurophysiological recordings, and novel segmented leads need to be considered. However, increased number of older patients with higher comorbidities and risk of DBS complications (mainly intracranial hemorrhage, but also infections, hardware complications) make them not eligible for surgery. With MRgFUS, hemorrhage risks are virtually nonexistent, infection or hardware malfunction are eliminated, while irreversible side effects can appear.Expert commentary: Comparison of the efficacy and risks associated with these techniques, in combination with a growing aged population in developed countries with higher comorbidities and a preference for less invasive treatments, necessitates a review of the indications for movement disorders and the most appropriate treatment modalities.

Early detection of cerebral ischemic events on intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging during surgical procedures for deep brain stimulation. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2019; 161:1545-1558. [PMID: 31053908 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-019-03929-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although intracerebral hemorrhage is the most feared complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, cerebral ischemic events in association with DBS surgery have only rarely been described. We therefore evaluated the role of intraoperative MRI (iMRI) for early identification of cerebral ischemic events during DBS procedures and determined how ischemic infarctions affect patients over acute and long-term periods. METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2017, 1160 DBS electrodes were implanted in 595 patients at Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital, with the help of iMRI. The iMRI was performed in all patients after implantation, to define the accuracy of lead placement and detect complications. A CT scan was performed on postoperative days 1 to 7. RESULTS The iMRI showed that cerebral ischemic changes happened in nine (1.51% of patients, 0.78% of leads) patients. Only two (0.34%) of nine patients had an ischemic infarction in the basal ganglia, while seven (1.18%) had cortical ischemia. Six (67%) of the nine patients had long-term complications, two with mild hemiparesis, two with seizures, one with language dysfunction, and one with memory loss. Of those with a cortical ischemic infarction, only three (42.86%) of seven patients had no long-term complications. Long-term follow-up imaging showed that not all the patients recovered normal morphological structure in the area of ischemic foci. The factors of sex, age, target, and anesthesia were not related to ischemic events. In six (66.7%) cases, the entry point on the cortex or the path was not ideal. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative ischemic events are not uncommon in DBS surgery. Ischemia can cause serious permanent complications, and regions subject to severe ischemia cannot be restored; it is therefore necessary to pay careful attention to any signs of ischemia. iMRI objectively provides the basis for early diagnosis of intraoperative ischemic infarction, providing guidance for follow-up treatment. The deviation in the entry point on the cortex or in the path resulted in vascular injury; it may be the key cause of ischemic events during DBS procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established surgical therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD). Intraoperative imaging (IMG), intraoperative physiology (PHY) and their combination (COMB) are the three mainstream DBS guidance methods. OBJECTIVE To comprehensively compare the use of IMG-DBS, PHY-DBS and COMB-DBS in treating PD. METHODS PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and OpenGrey were searched to identify PD-DBS studies reporting guidance techniques published between January 1, 2010, and May 1, 2018. We quantitatively compared the therapeutic effects, surgical time, target error and complication risk and qualitatively compared the patient experience, cost and technical prospects. A meta-regression analysis was also performed. This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42018105995. RESULTS Fifty-nine cohorts were included in the main analysis. The three groups were equivalent in therapeutic effects and infection risks. IMG-DBS (p < 0.001) and COMB-DBS (p < 0.001) had a smaller target error than PHY-DBS. IMG-DBS had a shorter surgical time (p < 0.001 and p = 0.008, respectively) and a lower intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) risk (p = 0.013 and p = 0.004, respectively) than PHY- and COMB-DBS. The use of intraoperative imaging and microelectrode recording correlated with a higher surgical accuracy (p = 0.018) and a higher risk of ICH (p = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS The comparison of COMB-DBS and PHY-DBS showed intraoperative imaging's superiority (higher surgical accuracy), while the comparison of COMB-DBS and IMG-DBS showed physiological confirmation's inferiority (longer surgical time and higher ICH risk). Combined with previous evidence, the use of intraoperative neuroimaging techniques should become a future trend.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neuro-psychosurgical technique widely accepted in movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. Since 1999, DBS has been explored for severe, chronic and treatment-refractory psychiatric diseases. Our review focuses on DBS in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), considered as a last treatment resort by most of learned societies in psychiatry. Two main stimulation areas have been studied: the striatal region and the subthalamic nucleus. But, most of the trials are open-labeled, and the rare controlled ones have failed to highlight the most efficient target. The recent perspectives are otherwise encouraging. Indeed, clinicians are currently considering other promising targets. A case series of 2 patients reported a decrease in OCD symptoms after DBS in the medial forebrain bundle and an open-label study is exploring bilateral habenula stimulation. New response criteria are also investigating such as quality of life, or subjective and lived-experience. Moreover, first papers about cost-effectiveness which is an important criterion in decision making, have been published. The effectiveness of tractography-assisted DBS or micro-assisted DBS is studying with the aim to improve targeting precision. In addition, a trial involving rechargeable pacemakers is undergoing because this mechanism could be efficient and have a positive impact on cost-effectiveness. A recent trial has discussed the possibility of using combined cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and DBS as an augmentation strategy. Finally, based on RDoc Research, the latest hypotheses about the understanding of cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuits could offer new directions including clinical predictors and biomarkers to perform adaptive closed-loop systems in the next future.

Abstract
Background Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation improves motor symptoms and fluctuations in advanced Parkinson's disease, but the degree of clinical improvement depends on accurate anatomical electrode placement. Methods used to localize the sensory‐motor part of the nucleus vary substantially. Using microelectrode recordings, at least three inserted microelectrodes are needed to obtain a three‐dimensional map. Therefore, multiple simultaneously inserted microelectrodes should provide better guidance than single sequential microelectrodes. We aimed to compare the use of multiple simultaneous versus single sequential microelectrode recordings on efficacy and safety of subthalamic nucleus stimulation. Methods Sixty patients were included in this double‐blind, randomized study, 30 in each group. Primary outcome measures were the difference from baseline to 12 months in the MDS‐UPDRS motor score (part III) in the off‐medication state and quality of life using the Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire‐39 (PDQ‐39) scores. Results The mean reduction of the MDS‐UPDRS III off score was 35 (SD 12) in the group investigated with multiple simultaneous microelectrodes compared to 26 (SD 10) in the single sequential microelectrode group (p = 0.004). The PDQ‐39 Summary Index did not differ between the groups, but the domain scores activities of daily living and bodily discomfort improved significantly more in the multiple microelectrodes group. The frequency of serious adverse events did not differ significantly. Conclusions After 12 months of subthalamic nucleus stimulation, the multiple microelectrodes group had a significantly greater improvement both in MDS‐UPDRS III off score and in two PDQ‐39 domains. Our results may support the use of multiple simultaneous microelectrode recordings. Trial registration http://ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00855621 (first received March 3, 2009).

Abstract
After 25 years of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, it has become increasingly recognized that a range of postoperative urgent situations and emergencies may occur. In this review we describe the possible scenarios of DBS-related emergencies: perioperative (intraoperative and early postoperative) and postoperative settings and issues from suboptimal control of motor and nonmotor symptoms in the early programming phase and during long-term follow-up. We also outline potential advantages in the management of these emergencies offered by the newest devices, emerging technologies, and new possibilities in programming.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate implantation of a depth electrode into the brain is of the greatest importance in deep brain stimulation (DBS), and various stereotactic systems have been developed for electrode implantation. However, an updated analysis of depth electrode implantation in the modern era of DBS is lacking. OBJECTIVE This study aims at providing an updated review on targeting accuracy of DBS electrode implantation by analyzing contemporary DBS electrode implantation operations from the perspective of precision engineering. METHODS Eligible articles with information on targeting accuracy of DBS electrode implantation were searched in the PubMed database. RESULTS An average targeting error of DBS electrode implantation is reported to decrease toward 1 mm; the standard deviation of targeting error is decreasing toward 0.5 mm. Targeting accuracy is not only found to be affected by individual surgical steps, but also systematically affected by the architecture of the implantation operation. CONCLUSION A systematic strategy should be adopted to further improve the targeting accuracy of depth electrode implantation. Attention should be paid to optimizing the whole electrode implantation operation, which can help minimize error accumulation or amplification throughout the serially connected procedures for DBS electrode implantation.

Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease with an increasing prevalence in Korea. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a safe and effective surgical treatment option for this disease. The aim of this review was to provide an update regarding current DBS practices with respect to the treatment of PD in the Republic of Korea. The first DBS in Korea was performed in 2000; approximately 2,000 patients have undergone DBS for a variety of neurological disorders, the majority of whom were patients with PD. Approximately 150 new patients with PD receive DBS annually, and more than 20 centers perform DBS. However, DBS remains underutilized for many reasons, and the clinical case burden at many institutions is below the level presumed adequate for qualified practice. With a rapidly aging population and an evolving socioeconomic environment, the need for surgical intervention for PD is likely to increase significantly in the future. Many issues such as finances, education, and quality assurance must be resolved to cope with this need.

Abstract
In surgery for subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS), precise implantation of the lead into the STN is essential. Physiological refinement with microelectrode recording (MER) is the gold standard for identifying STN. We studied single tract MER findings and surgical outcomes and verified our surgical method using single tract MER. The number of trajectories in MER and the final position of lead placement were retrospectively analyzed in 440 sides of STN DBS in 221 patients. Bilateral STN DBS yielded marked improvement in the motor score, dyskinesia/fluctuation score, and reduced requirement of dopaminergic medication in this series. The number of trajectories required to obtain sufficient activity of the STN was one in 79.0%, two in 18.2%, and three or more in 2.5% of 440 sides. In 92 sides requiring altered trajectory, the final direction of trajectory movement was posterior in 73.9%, anterior in 13.0%, lateral in 5.4%, and medial in 4.3%. In 18 patients, posterior moves were required due to significant brain shift with intracranial air caused by outflow of CSF during the second side procedure. Sufficient STN activity is obtained with minimum trajectories by proper targeting and precise interpretation of MER findings even in the single tract method. Anterior–posterior moves rather than medial–lateral moves should be attempted first in cases with insufficient recording of STN activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment of choice for patients with advanced idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) who have motor complication with medication. The objectives of this study are to analyze long-term follow-up data of STN DBS cases and to identify the factors related to outcomes. METHODS Fifty-two PD patients who underwent STN DBS were followed-up for more than 3 years. The Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and other clinical profiles were assessed preoperatively and during follow-up. A linear regression model was used to analyze whether factors predict the results of STN DBS. We divided the study individuals into subgroups according to several factors and compared subgroups. RESULTS Preoperative activity of daily living (ADL) and the magnitude of preoperative levodopa response were shown to predict the improvement in UPDRS part II without medication, and preoperative ADL and levodopa equivalent dose (LED) were shown to predict the improvement in UPDRS part II with medication. In UPDRS part III with medication, the magnitude of preoperative levodopa response was a predicting factor. CONCLUSION The intensity of preoperative levodopa response was a strong factor for motor outcome. And preoperative ADL and LED were strong factors for ADL improvement. More vigorous studies should be conducted to elucidate how levodopa-induced motor complications are ameliorated after STN DBS.

Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2013; 155:823-36. [PMID: 23430231 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-013-1629-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2012] [Accepted: 01/24/2013] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accuracy of electrode placement is an important determinant of outcome following deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Data on accuracy of electrode placement into the globus pallidum interna (GPi) in paediatric patients is limited, particularly those with non-primary dystonia who often have smaller GPi. Pallidal DBS is known to be more effective in the treatment of primary dystonia compared with secondary dystonia. OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine if accuracy of pallidal electrode placement differed between primary, secondary and NBIA (neuronal degeneration and brain iron accumulation) associated dystonia and how this related to motor outcome following surgery. METHODS A retrospective review of a consecutive cohort of children and young people undergoing DBS surgery in a single centre. Fused in frame preoperative planning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and postoperative computed tomography (CT) brain scans were used to determine the accuracy of placement of DBS electrode tip in Leskell stereotactic system compared with the planned target. The differences along X, Y, and Z coordinates were calculated, as was the Euclidean distance of electrode tip from the target. The relationship between proximity to target and change in Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale at 1 year was also measured. RESULTS Data were collected from 88 electrodes placed in 42 patients (14 primary dystonia, 18 secondary dystonia and 10 NBIA associated dystonia). Median differences between planned target and actual position were: left-side X-axis 1.05 mm, Y-axis 0.85 mm, Z-axis 0.94 mm and Euclidean difference 2.04 mm; right-side X-axis 1.28 mm, Y-axis 0.70 mm, Z-axis 0.70 mm and Euclidean difference 2.45 mm. Accuracy did not differ between left and right-sided electrodes. No difference in accuracy was seen between primary, secondary or NBIA associated dystonia. Dystonia reduction at 1 year post surgery did not appear to relate to proximity of implanted electrode to surgical target across the cohort. CONCLUSIONS Accuracy of surgical placement did not differ between primary, secondary or NBIA associated dystonia. Decreased efficacy of pallidal DBS in secondary and NBIA associated dystonia is unlikely to be related to difficulties in achieving the planned electrode placement.

[PMID: 23494089 PMCID: PMC3596566 DOI: 10.4329/wjr.v5.i1.5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2012] [Revised: 10/24/2012] [Accepted: 01/21/2013] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To evaluate different promising magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods at 7.0 Tesla (T) for the pre-stereotactic visualization of the zona incerta (ZI).
METHODS: Two neuroradiologists qualitatively and quantitatively examined T2-turbo spin-echo (T2-TSE), T1-weighted gradient-echo, as well as FLASH2D-T2Star and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) for the visualization of the ZI at 7.0 T MRI. Delineation and image quality for the ZI were independently examined using a 6-scale grading system. Inter-rater reliability using Cohen’s kappa coefficient (κ) were assessed. Contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR), and signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) for the ZI were calculated for all sequences. Differences in delineation, SNR, and CNR between the sequences were statistically assessed using a paired t-test. For the anatomic validation the coronal FLASH2D-T2Star images were co-registered with a stereotactic atlas (Schaltenbrand-Wahren).
RESULTS: The rostral part of the ZI (rZI) could easily be identified and was best and reliably visualized in the coronal FLASH2D-T2Star images. The caudal part was not definable in any of the sequences. No major artifacts in the rZI were observed in any of the scans. FLASH2D-T2Star and SWI imaging offered significant higher CNR values for the rZI compared to T2-TSE images (P > 0.05). The co-registration of the coronal FLASH2D-T2Star images with the stereotactic atlas schema (Schaltenbrand-Wahren) confirmed the correct localization of the ZI in all cases.
CONCLUSION: FLASH2D-T2Star imaging (particularly coronal view) provides the reliable and currently optimal visualization of the rZI at 7.0 T. These results can facilitate a better and more precise targeting of the caudal part of the ZI than ever before.

Abstract
Visual prosthetics is an expanding subfield of functional electrical stimulation which has gained increased interest recently in light of new advances in treatments and technology. These treatments and technology represent a major improvement over prior art, but are still subject to a host of limitations which are dependent on the manner in which one approaches the topic of visual prosthetics. These limitations pose new research challenges whose solutions are directly applicable to the well-being of blind individuals everywhere. In this review, we will outline and critically compare major current approaches to visual prosthetics, and in particular retinal prosthetics. Then, we will engage in an in-depth discussion of the limitations imposed by current technology, physics, and the underlying biology of the retina to highlight several of the challenges currently facing researchers.
