OBJECTIVE: GM1 Type 3 gangliosidosis is a lysosomal storage disorder for which no specific treatment is available. It is characterized by progressive generalized dystonia, which is refractory to pharmacological treatment and results in severe disability and life-threatening complications. We performed bilateral pallidal stimulation in a patient with GM1 gangliosidosis and report the 12-month postoperative course.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 24-year old woman presented with genetically confirmed GM1 gangliosidosis, resulting in severe progressive generalized dystonia.
INTERVENTION: Leads were implanted bilaterally into the internal part of the globus pallidus under stereotactic guidance. At follow-up visits, both the patient and the neurologists who performed the assessment were unaware of whether the neurostimulator was on or off. The patient was videotaped with a standardized protocol and scored by an independent expert.
CONCLUSION: After 1 year of follow-up, double-blind comparison of the patient's status with and without neurostimulation showed a 20% improvement, with a significant functional benefit, but no change in disease progression. Although further studies are needed to evaluate this therapeutic approach, this report suggests that pallidal stimulation might be a promising treatment for dystonia caused by GM1 Type 3 gangliosidosis.
