Intrathecal baclofen for intractable axial dystonia
Neurology.
1991 Jul.
Abstract
Following spinal instrumentation for scoliosis, a patient developed intractable axial dystonia refractory to conservative medical management. We describe the successful treatment of this dystonia with a continuous infusion of intrathecal baclofen and the subsequent long-term management.
