BACKGROUND: Anterior capsulotomy is a well-established treatment for refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) allows creation of large, sharply demarcated lesions with the safeguard of real-time imaging.
OBJECTIVE: To characterise the outcomes of laser anterior capsulotomy, including radiographical predictors of improvement.
METHODS: Patients with severe OCD refractory to pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy underwent bilateral anterior capsulotomy via LITT. The primary outcome was per cent reduction in Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) score over time. Lesion size was measured on postablation MRI. Disconnection of the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) was assessed via individual and normative tractography.
RESULTS: Eighteen patients underwent laser anterior capsulotomy. Median follow-up was 6 months (range 3-51 months). Time occupied by obsessions improved immediately (median Y-BOCS item 1 score 4-1, p=0.002). Mean (±SD) decrease in Y-BOCS score at last follow-up was 46%±32% (16±11 points, p<0.0001). Sixty-one per cent of patients were responders. Seven patients (39%) exhibited transient postoperative apathy. One patient had an asymptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage. Reduction in Y-BOCS score was positively associated with ablation volume (p=0.006). Individual tractography demonstrated durable ALIC disconnection. Normative tractography revealed a dorsal-ventral gradient, with disconnection of orbitofrontal streamlines most strongly associated with a positive response (p<0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Laser anterior capsulotomy resulted in immediate, marked improvement in OCD symptom severity. Larger lesions permit greater disconnection of prefrontal-subcortical pathways involved in OCD. The importance of greater disconnection is presumably related to variation in ALIC structure and the complex role of the PFC in OCD.
