How Do Craniometric Measurements and Skull Morphology Influence Subthalamic Nucleus Target Coordinations in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson Disease?

Objective: This study investigates the correlation among craniometric measurements, skull morphology, and subthalamic nucleus (STN) target coordinates in DBS surgery.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 77 Parkinson disease patients who underwent bilateral STN-DBS surgery at Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital and University Medical Center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Craniometric measurements and STN target coordinates were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multivariate linear regression.

Accuracy of Subthalamic Nucleus Electrode Implantation in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease Treatment and Affecting Factors: Outcomes at Two Centers in Vietnam.

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's Disease (PD) has become more and more popular in Vietnam. However, the accuracy of implantation and affecting factors are under investigation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the subthalamic nucleus (STN)-DBS electrode implantation technique for treatment PD at Nguyen Tri Phuong Hospital and University Medical Center.
