摘要：

Autopsy findings are reported from a patient with chorea-acanthocytosis treated for 2 years by deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the motor thalamus. Postoperative testing showed a progressive improvement in axial truncal spasms. Although relatively high currents were used for 2 years in this patient, postmortem analysis showed minimal tissue damage in the vicinity of the electrode tip. It is concluded that DBS has little impact on the surrounding tissues.
