Background: Traditionally, functional neurosurgery relied in stereotactic atlases and intraoperative micro-registration in awake patients for electrode placement in Parkinson's disease. Cumulative experience on target description, refinement of MRI, and advances in intraoperative imaging has enabled accurate preoperative planning and its implementation with the patient under general anaesthesia.
Methods: Stepwise description, emphasising preoperative planning, and intraoperative imaging verification, for transition to asleep-DBS surgery.
Conclusion: Direct targeting relies on MRI anatomic landmarks and accounts for interpersonal variability. Indeed, the asleep procedure precludes patient distress. A particular complication to avoid is pneumocephalus; it can lead to brain-shift and potential deviation of electrode trajectory.

Background: Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by variants in the gene. It is associated with periodic paralysis, dysmorphic features and cardiac arrhythmias. The syndrome exhibits incomplete penetrance, leading to a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, making diagnosis challenging.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid diversion via shunt placement is a common neurosurgical intervention. Keen's Point is a widely used landmark for accessing the trigone of the lateral ventricle; however, it lacks clinical validation. This study re-evaluates Keen's Point scalp parameters using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify an ideal shunt entry point based on 3-dimensional reconstructions.

Background: Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDPsy) is associated with increased nursing home placement and mortality and is closely linked with cognitive dysfunction.
Objective: Assess the clinical and cognitive features associated with PDPsy in patients without dementia.
Methods: We prospectively recruited people with Parkinson's disease (PwP) without dementia for a 3-year, longitudinal study at an outpatient movement disorders clinic.

Introduction: Bladder augmentation in the UK has been largely by enterocystoplasty or ureterocystoplasty (UC). Ileocystoplasty can be simple patch placement (SPP), or formation of an ileal cup (IC). Urothelium is the "right" mucosa, whereas intestinal mucosa exhibits absorption, mucus production, malignancy.

In 2017 a novel growth factor administration therapy (termed NTCELL®) was trialled for safety and efficacy for Parkinson's disease treatment. NTCELL® administration is the transplantation of encapsulated porcine choroid plexus cells into the putamen. A clinical study demonstrated safety but failed to meet its primary clinical end-point.
