Abstract
Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been demonstrated to improve quality of life in patients with refractory dystonia and Tourette's syndrome (TS). Because of the young age at onset of these disorders, and the marked benefit from DBS, pregnancy in patients who have received DBS is becoming a more frequent clinical occurrence, although clear management guidelines are lacking.
Cases: We report 14 new pregnancies in patients with dystonia or TS and DBS.
Literature review: Upon review of the literature, 23 pregnancies in patients with dystonia or TS were previously reported in seven articles.
Conclusion: Based on the available data from a total of 37 pregnancies, DBS does not seem associated with worse pregnancy outcome. However, careful planning and communication between neurologist, anesthesiologist and obstetrician are key. A registry on pregnancy outcome in patients with DBS should be generated to facilitate the development of guidelines.
期刊介绍：
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice- is an online-only journal committed to publishing high quality peer reviewed articles related to clinical aspects of movement disorders which broadly include phenomenology (interesting case/case series/rarities), investigative (for e.g- genetics, imaging), translational (phenotype-genotype or other) and treatment aspects (clinical guidelines, diagnostic and treatment algorithms)
