Research demonstrates the predictive role of putaminal atrophy for GPi-DBS outcomes in patients with HIE-related dystonia-dyskinesia syndrome, suggesting improved candidate selection strategies.
Putaminal atrophy is a key predictor of suboptimal outcomes following GPi-DBS in patients with HIE-related DDS. These findings highlight the importance of preoperative imaging in candidate selection and underscore the need for alternative strategies in patients with severe post-anoxic basal ganglia damage.
