Camptocormia，也被称为“脊柱弯曲综合征”，其特征是在坐着或站着时出现胸腰椎不自主的躯干弯曲。虽然帕金森病（PD）是最常见的病因，但这种体位障碍对左旋多巴或其他药物的反应很差。我们报告了一个PD患者，慢性双侧丘脑下核刺激产生了显著的减轻喜树症。(c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Camptocormia, known also as "bent spine syndrome," is characterized by involuntary truncal flexion of the thoraco-lumbar spine that appears in the sitting or standing position. Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most frequent etiologic factor, this postural disorder responds poorly to levodopa or other medications. We report a PD patient in whom chronic bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation produced a striking alleviation of camptocormia. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
