Legend of the video: First segment of the video shows the patient before surgery with severe cervical myoclonus dystonia reversed by a geste antagoniste (holding her chin with her left hand) and a trunk dystonia leading to gait instability. The second segment of the video shows clear improvement after bilateral GPi deep brain stimulation (DBS). The third segment shows the patient 3 months after stimulator removal and illustrates the reappearance of the cervical dystonia spreading to the trunk. The last segment of the video shows the patient 1 month after a new stimulator was implanted and the return to the initial major benefit. (MP4 36517 kb)
