Case report reveals positive outcomes from bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in delayed post-carbon monoxide dystonia, highlighting STN targeting as an effective therapy.
The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. Reference number 5. Data S1. COI_disclosure. Figure S1. Final stable stimulation parameters and Lead-DBS fusion imaging localization of bilateral STN-DBS (subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation) leads. The final stable stimulation parameters were as follows: right STN (case positive, contact 2 cathode): 2.1 V, 60 μs pulse width, 135 Hz frequency; left STN (case positive, contact 6 cathode): 1.8 V, 60 μs pulse width, 135 Hz frequency. Bilateral STN-DBS lead placement was reconstructed on fusion imaging postprocessed using Lead-DBS software; active contacts 2 (right lead) and 6 (left lead) reside within the dorsolateral motor subregion of the STN. Color coding for the reconstruction map: yellow: STN (target region), red: red nucleus, green: globus pallidus internus (GPi), blue: globus pallidus externus (GPe).
