- Abstract
GPi, globus pallidus interna. gl Discussion Dystonic camptocormia treated with GPi-DBS has been scarcely reported2,3 and this is the first report on overnight stimulation switch-off to successfully resolve tolerance in a dystonic camptocormia patient. Temporary Stimulation Switch-off Successfully Applied in a Dystonic Camptocormia Patient Camptocormia is a disabling postural abnormality characterized by marked forward flexion of the thoracolumbar spine, which escalates during standing and walking but relieves in the recumbent position.1 Although there is no established consensus for treatment of camptocormia, case series suggested that deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus interna (GPi) was effective in dystonic camptocormia.2,3 Here we present one patient with severe camptocormia as part of generalized dystonia, treated with GPi-DBS.
