Abstract
- OBJETIVO: Apresentamos os resultados preliminares da estimulação cerebral profunda crônica no núcleo subtalâmico para os sintomas motores da doença de Parkinson. MÉTODO: 8 pacientes com doença de Parkinson há mais de 5 anos, apresentando tremor incapacitante, oligocinesia e rigidez acentuada com predomínio unilateral, 3 à direita e um à esquerda, refratários à medicação adequada, foram submetidos ao implante bilateral de eletrodo cerebral profundo permanente subtalâmico, Itrell 2. Estes pacientes foram avaliados segundo as escalas: UPDRS, Schwab e England. RESULTADOS: Os resultados preliminares (6 meses), mostraram melhora significativa dos sinais e sintomas avaliados pelas escalas acima. Não houve complicações com os procedimentos. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados preliminares indicam que a estimulação subtalâmica é uma boa opção terapêutica, estando de acordo com os resultados da literatura. We present the preliminary results in patients well selected to be implanted by deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinsons's disease (PD). METHODS: 8 PD patients with disabled tremor, akinetic/bradikinetic and rigidity, in spite of best therapeutic assay with poor response were referred to surgery. It was implanted DBS Itrell 2. Theses patients were evaluated by the following scales: UPDRS, Schwab and England. RESULTS: The preliminary results in 6 months showed significant improvement of motor performance and it is shown by the scores. There were no complications so far with these procedures. CONCLUSION: The preliminary results indicate that DBS is highly effective, with benefit to those patients and it is according to literature.
