Deep brain stimulation for cervical dystonia

Magyar-Lehmann and colleagues, for example, showed that patients with cervical dystonia had higher glucose metabolism bilaterally in the lentiform nucleus in a PET study without significant differences regarding the laterality, the specific pattern, or the severity of cervical dystonia in individual...

Description
Summary:Magyar-Lehmann and colleagues, for example, showed that patients with cervical dystonia had higher glucose metabolism bilaterally in the lentiform nucleus in a PET study without significant differences regarding the laterality, the specific pattern, or the severity of cervical dystonia in individual cases. 6 Naumann and colleagues also demonstrated bilateral basal ganglia involvement in cervical dystonia patients by striatal D2-receptor binding studies. 7 In that study, there was no significant difference by intraindividual comparison of contralateral versus ipsilateral striatal epipride binding with regard to the direction of head rotation.
