| pubmed-article:11376197 | pubmed:abstractText | Clinical signs help determine correct electrode positioning during stereotactic implantation for chronic high-frequency pallidal stimulation in Parkinson's diease (PD). The authors describe a patient who had marked, sustained, contraversive eye deviation caused by stimulation during pallidal surgery. The underlying mechanism is probably an excitation of fibers in the internal capsule by volume-conducted current spread. Such conjugate eye deviation is thus not necessarily an indication of incorrect electrode placement. | lld:pubmed |
