Handwriting and drawings from motor examination pre- and post-DBS in cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

Download

Handwriting and drawings of the dominant left upper extremity in a 42-year-old left-handed man with multiple cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis-related sequelae: motor examination pre-DBS placement and 6 months post-DBS VIM placement. The man's sequelae included developmental delay, cataracts, epilepsy, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, anxiety, depression, parkinsonism, and postural or action tremor. His cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis-tremor was successfully treated with unilateral thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) DBS (deep brain stimulation).
