Early-onset isolated (DYT1) dystonia is one of the most common forms of primary dystonia in childhood, and deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus (GPi-DBS) is a highly effective treatment for it. However, the effectiveness of GPi-DBS in monozygotic twins with DYT1 dystonia has never been reported globally. Here, we report the cases of monozygotic twins with DYT1 dystonia who were treated using GPi-DBS, and we include a literature review. The younger brother showed an abnormal gait, with external rotation of the right lower leg at 6 years old. The symptoms gradually became so severe that he had difficulty walking on his own at 9 years of age. Treatment with levodopa-carbidopa partially resolved his symptoms, but most of the symptoms remained. Meanwhile, the older brother developed dystonia in both upper limbs at 8 years of age, with gradual symptom progression. At 13 years of age, they were diagnosed with DYT1 dystonia. Bilateral GPi-DBS was performed in both patients at 16 years of age. Their symptoms remarkably improved after surgery. The Burke-Fahn-Marsden dystonia rating scale (BFMDRS) movement score was reduced from 52 to 2 points for the younger brother and from 35 to 1 point for the older brother. Even if monozygotic twins have the same genes, the onset and severity of symptoms might vary in accordance with differences in epigenomic profiles. However, GPi-DBS treatment was very effective for the two cases; thus, we should consider the surgical interventions for each patient.
