Microelectrode recording (MER)-guided deep brain stimulation (DBS) remains the standard electrophysiological procedure to place the DBS lead at the optimal target. When single-track MER or test stimulation yields suboptimal results, trajectory adjustments are needed. Intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) can be useful to visualize the microelectrode and verify possible adjustments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of iCT in MER during frameless stereotactic DBS for Parkinson disease (PD). We retrospectively collected 28 PD patients, of whom 19 received iCT and 9 did not, and measured intracranial volume, cerebral volume, cerebrospinal fluid volume, and pneumocephalus volume. Euclidean distance was assessed according to merged preoperative brain CT and magnetic resonance imaging and postoperative brain CT. Fifty-six hemispheres in the 28 patients were analyzed for MER tracks. The patients who received iCT had a significantly lower mean number of MER tracks (1.6 vs. 2.6, P = 0.013) and lower mean Euclidean distance (2.2 mm vs. 2.7 mm, P = 0.033) compared with those who did not receive iCT. Although there was a trend of a decrease in pneumocephalus using intraoperative imaging, there was no significant difference in surgical time. iCT can reduce the number of MER tracks and increase surgical accuracy. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether iCT can reduce surgical complications and improve surgical outcomes.

D010300 Parkinson Disease A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.
