The Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by a deficiency in hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase, a purine salvage enzyme.Affected individuals exhibit a characteristic neurobehavioral disorder with delayed acquisition of motor skills, dystonia, severe self-mutilations, and aggressive behavior. Deep brain stimulation has been previously proposed for controlling isolated involuntary movements and psychiatric disorders. We applied a double bilateral simultaneous stimulation to limbic and motor internal pallidum in one patient for controlling both behavioral and movement disorders, respectively. The injurious compulsions disappeared; dystonia and dyskinesia were decreased at 28 months follow-up. (C) 2007 Movement Disorder Society.
