Striking Efficacy of Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation in a Patient with Predominant Abductor Laryngeal Dystonia: A Case Report.

The article discusses a case report of a 45-year-old male patient with abductor laryngeal dystonia (ABLD) who underwent pallidal deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. ABLD is a rare subtype of laryngeal dystonia characterized by breathy breaks during speech. The patient experienced immediate and remarkable efficacy of DBS, with full recovery from symptoms without recurrence. The study highlights the potential of pallidal DBS as a highly effective treatment for ABLD, offering new insights into the management of this challenging condition. [Extracted from the article]
