文摘

This is the first description of a rechargeable neurostimulator for deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation implanted in a 5-year old ex-24 week preterm boy to relieve dystonic-choreoathetosis allowing subsequent cochlear implantation (CI) 5 months later. The technical challenges of dual DBS and CI are described. The benefits of DBS in reducing dystonia storms are described. The benefits of dual DBS and CI for hearing and language are described.
