Deep brain stimulation of the anterior nucleus of the thalamus in a patient with super‐refractory convulsive status epilepticus

Abstract: We report the first patient to die from refractory convulsive status epilepticus (SE) after the removal of a stimulator. The removal occurred after a two‐year period of successful control of super‐refractory convulsive SE with deep brain stimulation of the bilateral anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT‐DBS). The female patient, born in 1990, suffered from high fever and seizures, and was diagnosed with viral encephalitis in 2005. After four weeks of medical treatment, she recovered with no neurological disabi… Show more

“…Nonetheless, DBS was used in fewer children, and VNS appears to have been used in a higher number of patients with severe epilepsy (migrating epilepsy, severe cortical malformations, birth injury). DBS implantation led to improvement of srSE, with worsening in seizures when the DBS was turned off [66,67,69,82,86].…”
