Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the improvement of symptoms in recent to two years after bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Meige syndrome (MS).

Methods

Eleven MS patients were treated from January 2014 to December 2017 in Neurosurgery Department of the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School with bilateral DBS, including 1 case with Stn-DBS and 10 cases with Gpi-DBS. The patients were evaluated by Burke-Fahn-Maisden dystonia rating scale (BFMdrs) before operation, and 1 month, 6 months, 2 years after the pulse stimulator were turned on respectively.

Results

The BFMdrs score of 11 patients before operation was (14.64±1.57), and the scores at 1 month, 6 months, and 2 years after operation were (8.18±1.33), (4.55±1.21), and (4.09±1.22), respectively, with statistical significance compared with that before operation (P<0.05). The average improvement rate at 1 month, 6 months, and 2 years after operation were 44.10%, 68.94%, and 72.05%, respectively.

Conclusion

Bilateral DBS has a definite effect on MS, and the long-term effect is better than the short-term effect, which improves the quality of life of MS patients.
