DBS in critical care conditions
The efficacy of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is well established in the treatment of chronic neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease and primary dystonia. Emerging indications include, refractory epilepsy, chronic cluster headache, major depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, disruptive behaviour and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome. Nevertheless in selected cases DBS may be a treatment option in acute neurological disease or sudden dramatic worsening of pre-existing diseases in emergency conditions such as status dystonicus (SD) and post-stroke conditions.

A Non-Epileptiform Event in the Course of rTMS: A Case for Close Physician Monitoring
We present the following case to demonstrate the importance of having physician supervision of patients undergoing repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatments. The patient was a married 60-year-old male with a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder who had continuous symptoms of depression since the early 1980s despite receiving at least 7 adequate antidepressant treatments. The patient had several comorbid medical conditions. The patient did not have any previous history of seizure, stroke, an abnormal EEG, head injury, neurosurgical procedure, implanted devices, frequen...
