The left wrist was hyperextended, with continuing rhythmic clenching and opening of the fist (Fig. 1A). The left-sided dystonic posture and walking had kept improving (Fig. 1B).
Postoperative imaging showing the location of the electrodes. (A) Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans demonstrating the bilateral deep brain stimulation electrodes in the posteroventral internal globus pallidus (GPi) Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (Axial FLAIR). (B) Postoperative assessment of implanted electrodes by image fusion of a postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan with the corresponding preoperative inversion-recovery image. The bilateral electrodes located in the external globus pallidus (GPe).
