  • Title: Complete suppression of paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia by globus pallidus internus pallidal stimulation.

    Journal: Mov Disord; 2006 Apr; 21(4):576-9. PubMed ID: 16267844.
    Abstract:
    Stereotactic functional surgery is being explored as potential therapies for medically intractable paroxysmal dyskinesias (PxD). We report on a 59-year-old man in whom stimulation of globus pallidus internus produced immediate and sustained relief of paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia secondary to a rotator cuff tears on the left shoulder. Our finding strongly suggests that altered function of neuronal circuits of the basal ganglia underlies the manifestation of PxD.
