Abstract

Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurologic condition characterized by motor and phonic tics. Dystonic tics, including blepharospasm, are considered atypical or unusual in severe TS.

Case report: We report a severe case of TS with facial dystonic tics resembling blepharospasm in which the microlesion effect and a sustained therapeutic effect was observed with bilateral globus pallidus interna (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS).

Discussion: Bilateral GPi DBS can be beneficial for blepharospasm-like tics and severe symptoms of TS. The improvements seen can be explained by the microlesion effect induced by DBS lead placement in the GPi.

背景：图雷特综合征（TS）是一种以运动和发音抽搐为特征的神经系统疾病。包括眼睑痉挛在内的肌张力抽搐在严重的 TS 中被认为是不典型或不寻常的：病例报告：我们报告了一例伴有类似眼睑痉挛的面部肌张力抽搐的严重 TS 病例，该病例通过双侧苍白球间质（GPi）脑深部刺激（DBS）治疗，观察到了微裂隙效应和持续的治疗效果：讨论：双侧 GPi DBS 对眼睑痉挛样抽搐和严重 TS 症状有益。讨论：双侧 GPi DBS 对眼睑痉挛样抽搐和严重 TS 症状有益，其改善可归因于在 GPi 植入 DBS 导线所产生的微缺失效应。
