Zusammenfassung

Objective: In recent years the application of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) has come into focus with the Globus pallidus internus (GPi) being one possible target. We here present the results of four patients with intractable GTS in whom bilateral GPi-DBS was performed. Methods: Electrode-implantation (DBS 3387, Medtronic) was performed under propofol anaesthesia with MRI-guided stereotaxy followed by implantation of the permanent stimulation system (Soletra (1)/Kinetra (3), Medtronic). Initially, standard settings also used for dystonia were chosen (monopolar stimulation, a…
