Deep brain stimulation of the thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus for Benedikt ’s syndrome mainly present as tremor: a long-term case observation

We report a successful case report of thalamic ventral intermediate (VIM) nucleus DBS for a patient with BS. During follow-up of 3 years, DBS successfully control the tremor and greatly improve his living and working quality. We consider that VIM DBS may have sustained benefit for refr actory BS that mainly presents as tremor.
