Case reports suggest that bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventro-postero-lateral internal globus pallidus (GPi) may benefit these patients. To explore this issue, the present multicentre (n=12) retrospective study collected the short and long term outcome of 15 patients who underwent DBS.</p></sec><sec sec-type="headed"><title>Methods</title><p>Data were collected in a standardized way 2-6 months preoperatively, 1-5 months (early) and 6 months or more (late) after surgery at the last follow-up visit (mean follow-up: 29.5 months).</p></sec><sec sec-type="headed"><title>Results</title><p>Motor severity, assessed by the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale-Motor Score, UHDRS-MS), was significantly reduced at both early and late post-surgery time points (mean improvement 54.3% and 44.1%, respectively). Functional capacity (UHDRS-Functional Capacity Score) was also significantly improved at both post-surgery time points (mean 75.5% and 73.3%, respectively), whereas incapacity (UHDRS-Independence Score) improvement reached significance at early post-surgery only (mean 37.3%). Long term significant improvement of motor symptom severity (≥20 % from baseline) was observed in 61.5 % of the patients. Chorea and dystonia improved, whereas effects on dysarthria and swallowing were variable. Parkinsonism did not improve. Linear regression analysis showed that preoperative motor severity predicted motor improvement at both post-surgery time points. The most serious adverse event was device infection and cerebral abscess, and one patient died suddenly of unclear cause, 4 years after surgery.</p></sec><sec sec-type="headed"><title>Conclusion</title><p>This study shows that bilateral DBS of the GPi effectively reduces the severity of drug-resistant hyperkinetic movement disorders such as present in ChAc.</p></sec></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Danek, A" uniqKey="Danek A">A Danek</name></author><author><name sortKey="Jung, Hh"

It belongs to the neuroacanthocytosis syndromes, a heterogeneous group of genetically defined conditions, exhibiting neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders with red blood cell acanthocytosis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>]. ChAc is very rare, and typically presents as an adult-onset progressive disorder resembling Huntington's disease (HD) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>]. ChAc has however a slower progression, and displays some more or less specific clinical features such as tongue- and lip-biting, self-mutilations, seizures and neuromuscular manifestations but no specific neuropathological features besides prominent striatal degeneration [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>].</p><p>There is no specific treatment for ChAc and the most frequent and disabling motor disorders, chorea and dystonia, are poorly controlled by conventional symptomatic drug therapy [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>]. This has prompted neurosurgical treatment attempts, such as stereotactic brain lesions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>], and, more recently, deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery of the internal globus pallidus (GPi) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>] following reported success in the management of other hyperkinetic movement disorders [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>]. However, only single case or small series have been reported heterogeneously and in the short term, which likely bias the results towards favourable outcomes.</p><p>We performed a worldwide multicentre retrospective and cross-sectional study to gather all currently available data on all ChAc patients treated by GPi DBS and to provide a standardized, long-term comprehensive review of the clinical and functional outcome of these patients. In addition, to help guide GPi DBS surgery decision making in ChAc patients we aimed at identifying factors corresponding with favourable outcomes.</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>Clinical Materials and Methods</title><p>A total of 12 centres were contacted to participate in this retrospective study. </p><sec id="s2.1"><title>Case selection</title><p>Movement disorders and neurosurgical tertiary centres were identified and contacted on the basis of scientific publications (original research and review articles published between 1997 and November 2012) in Medline and PubMed databases (search terms: deep brain stimulation, DBS, high-frequency stimulation, pallidal stimulation, and neuroacanthocytosis, chorea, chorea-acanthocytosis, ChAc), as well as of meeting abstracts. The support association for neuroacanthocytosis patients (www.naadvocacy.org), and the diagnostic reference centre and database in Munich, Germany, also collaborated for patient identification, and announcements were published at the Movement Disorders Society (MDS) meeting 2011 and MDS website. </p></sec><sec id="s2.2"><title>Patients</title><p>Selected patients were diagnosed with molecularly proven or clinically probable ChAc (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0079241-t001">Table 1</xref>), and treated with GPi DBS regardless of surgery outcome.

Patient 4, at EPOP period, complained of abnormal face and mouth pulling over 60 Hz stimulation. One month after surgery he displayed increased tongue movements at 50Hz stimulation using bilateral double monopolar settings (C+1-2-), thereby requiring an adjustment towards bilateral single monopolar (C+1-) stimulation. Patient 9, at EPOP time point, exhibited worsening of chorea and dysarthria, with palilalia and drooling at 130Hz, 40Hz stimulation was effective on choreic movements. At LOR assessment, again under 130Hz stimulation, abnormal movements were well-controlled but clinical examination revealed mild parkinsonism and complete anarthria. Rigidity and bradykinesia slightly decreased 2 hours after stopping the stimulation, and the patient was able to pronounce few simple words. Patient 11 experienced increased chorea and side effects (facial hemispasm, visual disturbances and vegetative changes) whatever the bipolar stimulation parameters used at high frequency. Low frequency stimulation led to deterioration of speech and gait [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref>].

In the 11 patients, with two postoperative standardized evaluations, a significant long term improvement of motor symptom severity (improvement ≥ 20% in UHDRS-MS) was observed for 61.5 % at a mean follow-up of 2.5 years. Because duration of follow-up was variable, we constructed individual outcome curves that demonstrated that most patients remained above the pre-operative level, even though there was a tendency for motor deterioration over time. Gait impairment, orofacial movements and tics, self-mutilation, head drops and trunk spasms were DBS-sensitive symptoms, while dysarthria and feeding problems were less DBS-responsive and had a more variable outcome. Limb, face and trunk chorea improved early after surgery and responded immediately to switching the stimulation “on” and relapsed abruptly when switching “off”. This response resembles that observed in HD [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">29</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>] and in McLeod Syndrome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>]. </p><p>An early improvement was observed for phasic/mobile dystonia (debilitating trunk and limb spasms, head drops with injuries), as described in other conditions including primary generalized dystonia (PGD) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>]. Conversely, improvement of tonic dystonia was slower and occurred after 6 months of stimulation for patients 3 and 9, also resembling observations made in PGD [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>].</p><p>As in other primary choreic syndromes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">29</xref>] we observed a tendency for symptom deterioration and/or occurrence of parkinsonism in the longer term. This may be related to disease progression and/or to DBS itself, possibly by activation of inhibitory pallidal outputs to the motor thalamus [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">34</xref>]. Although GPi-DBS is an effective treatment for motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD), worsening of akinesia and gate deterioration was also observed in GPi-DBS-treated PD patients depending on the stimulated area within the GPi [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">34</xref>]. </p><p>Dysarthria occurrence or worsening could also be related to disease progression or to DBS adverse effect, as observed in one of our patients (patient 9). GPi-DBS efficacy on swallowing was highly variable. Improvement could be seen when swallowing impairment was mainly due to feeding dystonia, orolingual movement disorders or trunk spasms. Otherwise, swallowing problems tended to deteriorate along with axial signs and parkinsonism. </p><p>At LOR assessment, drugs used to control the movement disorders were reduced in 71% of patients (10/14), thus supporting the assumption that the effect upon movement disorders can reasonably be attributed to DBS rather than to drug regime changes. Only one patient did not benefit from strictly monopolar DBS. His disease was very advanced (17 years disease duration) as well as drug-resistant (11 drugs had been tried). </p><p>Motor improvement translated into an improvement of functional capacity both at early and late post-operative observations. The patients showed significant functional improvement of 75.5% (UHDRS-FCS) at EPOP and LOR. Independence, as assessed by the UHDRS-IS, was significantly improved only at EPOP, even if there was also a trend for improvement at LOR. Thus, improvement in motor signs and functional capacity did not fully translate to improvement of dependency at the long-term. This could be due to the sensitivity and/or the psychometric characteristics of the subscale used and/or the low number of patients under study. Alternatively, DBS, while improving motor symptoms and function, may be ineffective with respect to dependency in patients severely affected by advanced disease. This issue remains to be addressed in prospective studies using also quality of life measures. The cognitive outcome of ChAc patients with GPi DBS was inconclusive with the limited data in hand. </p><p>There was no correlation between the patients´ demographics or disease duration and outcome. However, there was a significant relation between pre-operative severity of motor signs (UHDRS-MS) and improvement of motor signs. </p><p>The UHDRS scale was used as previously proposed for neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) in an attempt to standardize the data available [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>] but, as in NBIA, the UHDRS has not been validated in ChAc. Although the disease spectrum is very similar to HD, the scale may have missed characteristic ChAc symptoms such as orofacial movement disorders and self-mutilations, feeding dystonia, trunk spasms, head drops, breathing dystonia and recurrent belching. Formal validation of the UHDRS in ChAc or design of a ChAc specific scale is needed but difficult to perform due to the very small number of patients involved. </p><p>Implanted devices and stimulation parameter settings varied among centres. However, optimal stimulation parameter settings mostly used higher frequency (mean = 102.5 Hz) and monopolar stimulation of lower contacts with a mean amplitude of 2.8 volts. There was a tendency to gradually increase frequency and amplitude along with the use of more dorsal contacts at the latest follow-up [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B35">35</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>]. This may be due to disease progression or, alternatively, to an attempt to control increased bradykinesia over time [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">37</xref>].</p><p>The risk/benefit ratio appears acceptable in the present case series. Although the limited number of patients prevents definitive conclusions, adverse events were roughly similar to those observed in HD, PD, NBIA or dystonia case series [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">31</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B38">38</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">39</xref>]. Misplacement of one electrode requiring new surgery, Twiddler syndrome and device infection with brain abscess were the most serious surgery-related adverse events. In the 5 patients with preoperative epilepsy, there was no worsening of epilepsy or increase in antiepileptic drug dosage, and no <italic>de novo</italic> seizures after surgery in patients without epilepsy. These findings, although observed in few patients, suggest that epilepsy may not be a contraindication or a serious concern for GPi-DBS in ChAc, but further studies are needed to address this point. Indeed, a recent case reported possible intraoperative seizures and also post-operative intracranial hematoma in a 32-years-old patient with non-molecularly proven ChAc [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B40">40</xref>]. Two years later, the patient underwent a second DBS operation leading to a marked improvement of his dystonia, chorea and overall quality of life 2 and 8 months postoperatively [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B40">40</xref>].</p><p>Finally, although our results are positive and encouraging, it is important to note that our study presents some limitations due to its retrospective and multi-centre nature leading to some lack of homogeneity in patients’ assessment and data collection, despite of our efforts of standardization. Also, some data were missing (see <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0079241-t002">Table 2</xref>), and in two patients (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0079241-t001">Table 1</xref>, patients 14 and 15) the diagnosis of ChAc was only “highly probable” in the absence of screening for Chorein blot or <italic>VPS13A</italic> mutations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>].</p><p>In conclusion, our study of 15 patients collected worldwide, is in favour of long-term efficacy and relative safety of the bilateral GPi-DBS for severe, drug-resistant hyperkinetic movement disorders (chorea, dystonia and/or orofacial movements and self-mutilations) in ChAc. DBS provides long-term motor and functional improvement but has less effect on long-term dependency. Also, as reported previously in NBIA patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>] preoperative severity is predictive of a good response to bilateral GPi-DBS. Our study emphasizes the need to improve prospective data collection in international frameworks; gathering clinical characteristics of ChAc patients and their long term monitoring is essential to further evaluate interventions such as DBS in this debilitating disease.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material"><title>Supporting Information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0079241.s001"><label>Appendix S1</label><caption><p><bold>Participating Centres.</bold></p><p>(DOCX)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0079241.s001.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0079241.s002"><label>Table S1</label><caption><p><bold>Time-schedule of the data collected during the study.</bold></p><p>(DOCX)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0079241.s002.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0079241.s003"><label>Table S2</label><caption><p><bold>Surgical procedures.</bold></p><p>(DOCX)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0079241.s003.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0079241.s004"><label>Table S3</label><caption><p><bold>Electrode coordinates.</bold></p><p>(DOCX)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0079241.s004.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0079241.s005"><label>Table S4</label><caption><p><bold>Optimal stimulation settings.</bold></p><p>(DOCX)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0079241.s005.docx"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material></sec></body><back><ack><p>The authors would like to thank Ginger and Glenn Irvine and the Advocacy for Neuroacanthocytosis Patients (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.naadvocacy.org">www.naadvocacy.org</ext-link>) for their help in identifying the patients, and Miss Adeline Cathala for statistical assistance.
