摘要: The authors describe long-term follow-up (mean, 5 years) in patients with anterior (AN) (n = 6) or centromedian 2) thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) for epilepsy. Five (all AN) had ≥50% seizure reduction, although benefit was delayed two until years to 6, after changes antiepileptic drugs. DBS electrode implantation AN followed by reduction 1 3 months before active stimulation, raising the possibility of a beneficial microthalamotomy effect.
