Résumé

Whereas transient, self-limiting seizures are an infrequent but known complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation surgery, stimulation itself has occasionally been reported to result in seizure activity at delayed time points. The neural circuitry implicated in stimulation-induced seizures is unknown. A 47-year-old woman underwent chronic subcallosal cingulate DBS for treatment of refractory anorexia nervosa and experienced seizure with stimulation onset. Supratherapeutic voltage caused a generalized seizure. The patient subsequently experienced a full recovery. We reviewed the literature for other cases of delayed postoperative DBS seizures associated with stimulation. We also investigated whether the higher voltage may have recruited networks implicated in epilepsy. The supratherapeutic voltage stimulated a larger area and engaged vulnerable networks, including bilateral hippocampi, cingulate gyrus, and temporal lobes. Literature review identified 20 studies reporting delayed seizure after DBS surgery, 13 of which demonstrated a robust association with mostly nonmotor DBS stimulation. Nonmotor DBS targets, particularly in patients with epilepsy, may be more vulnerable to stimulation-induced seizures; as such, extra caution should be used when programming stimulation parameters at these DBS targets.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Whereas transient, self-limiting seizures are an infrequent but known complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation surgery, stimulation itself has occasionally been reported to result in seizure activity at delayed time points. The neural circuitry implicated in stimulation-induced seizures is unknown.
CASE DESCRIPTION METHODS
A 47-year-old woman underwent chronic subcallosal cingulate DBS for treatment of refractory anorexia nervosa and experienced seizure with stimulation onset. Supratherapeutic voltage caused a generalized seizure. The patient subsequently experienced a full recovery. We reviewed the literature for other cases of delayed postoperative DBS seizures associated with stimulation. We also investigated whether the higher voltage may have recruited networks implicated in epilepsy. The supratherapeutic voltage stimulated a larger area and engaged vulnerable networks, including bilateral hippocampi, cingulate gyrus, and temporal lobes. Literature review identified 20 studies reporting delayed seizure after DBS surgery, 13 of which demonstrated a robust association with mostly nonmotor DBS stimulation.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Nonmotor DBS targets, particularly in patients with epilepsy, may be more vulnerable to stimulation-induced seizures; as such, extra caution should be used when programming stimulation parameters at these DBS targets.
