Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Chorea acanthocytosis is a progressive hereditary neurodegenerative disorder characterized by hyperkinetic movements, seizures, and acanthocytosis in the absence of any lipid abnormality. Medical treatment is typically limited and disappointing. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We report on a 32-year-old patient with chorea acanthocytosis with a failed attempt at awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery due to intraoperative seizures and postoperative intracranial hematoma. He then underwent a second DBS operation, but under general anesthesia and with intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging guidance. Marked improvement in his dystonia, chorea, and overall quality of life was noted 2 and 8 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: DBS surgery of the bilateral globus pallidus pars interna may be useful in controlling the hyperkinetic movements in neuroacanthocytosis. Because of the high propensity for seizures in this disorder, DBS performed under general anesthesia, with intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging guidance, may allow successful implantation while maintaining accurate target localization.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Although a few studies have quantified errors in the implantation of deep brain stimulation electrodes into the subthalamic nucleus (STN), a significant trend in error direction has not been reported. We have previously found that an error in axial plane, which is of most concern because it cannot be compensated for during deep brain stimulation programming, had a posteromedial trend. We hypothesized that this trend results from a predominance of a directionally oriented error factor of brain origin. Accordingly, elimination of nonbrain (technical) error factors could augment this trend. Thus, implantation accuracy could be improved by anterolateral compensation during target planning. METHODS Surgical technique was revised to minimize technical error factors. During 22 implantations, targets were selected on axial magnetic resonance imaging scans up to 1.5 mm anterolateral from the STN center. Using fusion of postoperative computed tomographic and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging scans, implantation errors in the axial plane were obtained and compared with distances from the lead to the STN to evaluate the benefit of anterolateral compensation. RESULTS Twenty errors and the mean error had a posteromedial direction. The average distances from the lead to the target and to the STN were 1.7 mm (range, 0.8–3.1 mm) and 1.1 mm (range, 0.1–1.9 mm), respectively. The difference between the 2 distances was significant (paired t test, P < 0.0001). The lower parts of the lead were consistently bent in the posteromedial direction on postoperative scout computed tomographic scans, suggesting that a brain-related factor is responsible for the reported error. CONCLUSION Elimination of the technical factors of error during STN deep brain stimulation implantation can result in a consistent posteromedial error. Implantation accuracy may be improved by compensation for this error in advance.
