## Abstract We report the results of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) in 12 patients with childhoodβonset generalized dystonia refractory to medication, including 3 patients with status dystonicus. There were 8 patients who had DYT1βnegative primary dystonia, 1 had
## Abstract Tardive dystonia is a disabling movement disorder as a consequence of exposure to neuroleptic drugs. We followed 6 patients with medically refractory tardive dystonia treated by bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for 21 Β± 18 months. At last followβup,
## Abstract Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus internus (GPi) is an effective treatment in primary dystonia. Its success depends on the implantation accuracy of the DBS electrode into the targeted GPi. Discrepancies of up to 4 mm between the initial target, selected on preoperative
