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.

The implantation of deep brain stimulator electrodes is associated with infrequent complications. These complications are consistent across prospective trials and include infection, skin erosion, hemorrhage, and lead misplacement. Nuances of surgical technique can be used to minimize the risk of these commonly noted complications. Several of these technical nuances are highlighted in this video submission.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/GL09W9p013g.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Accurate placement of a probe to the deep regions of the brain is an important part of neurosurgery. In the modern era, magnetic resonance image (MRI)-based target planning with frame-based stereotaxis is the most common technique. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the inaccuracy in MRI-guided frame-based stereotaxis and to assess the relative contributions of frame movements and MRI distortion. METHODS: The MRI-directed implantable guide-tube technique was used to place carbothane stylettes before implantation of the deep brain stimulation electrodes. The coordinates of target, dural entry point, and other brain landmarks were compared between preoperative and intraoperative MRIs to determine the inaccuracy. RESULTS: The mean 3-dimensional inaccuracy of the stylette at the target was 1.8 mm (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5-2.1. In deep brain stimulation surgery, the accuracy in the x and y (axial) planes is important; the mean axial inaccuracy was 1.4 mm (95% CI, 1.1-1.8). The maximal mean deviation of the head frame compared with brain over 24.1 ± 1.8 hours was 0.9 mm (95% CI, 0.5-1.1). The mean 3-dimensional inaccuracy of the dural entry point of the stylette was 1.8 mm (95% CI, 1.5-2.1), which is identical to that of the target. CONCLUSION: Stylette positions did deviate from the plan, albeit by 1.4 mm in the axial plane and 1.8 mm in 3-dimensional space. There was no difference between the accuracies at the dura and the target approximately 70 mm deep in the brain, suggesting potential feasibility for accurate planning along the whole trajectory.
