ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Target localization for deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a crucial step that influences the clinical benefit of the DBS procedure together with the reduction of side effects. In this work, we address the feasibility of DBS target localization in the globus pallidus internus (GPi) aided by intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEP) with emphasis on the reduction of capsular side effects. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Micro-macroelectrode recordings were performed intraoperatively on 20 patients that underwent DBS treatment of the GPi (GPi-DBS). MEP were elicited intraoperatively by microelectrode stimulation during stereotactic DBS surgery. We studied the relationship between MEP thresholds and the internal capsule (IC) proximity.RESULTS:
We found a significant correlation between intraoperative MEP thresholds and IC proximity.CONCLUSIONS:
We provide further evidence of the role of MEPs for DBS target localization in the GPi, which extends and confirms the usefulness of MEPs as previously reported by DBS target localization studies dealing with the subthalamic and thalamic nuclei. Our approach is advantageous in that it provides criteria to determine the DBS target without the need to rely on a patient's response while avoiding capsular effects.Palabras clave
