Asleep Deep Brain Stimulation Reduces Incidence of Intracranial Air during Electrode Implantation

Conclusions: We show that aDBS reduces the incidence of intracranial air, larger air volumes, and cortical brain shift. Large volumes of intracranial air have been correlated to shifting of brain structures during DBS procedures, a variable that could impact accuracy of electrode placement.Stereotact Funct Neurosurg
