A: MRI brain images of patient in sagittal (top) and axial (bottom) views. Midbrain atrophy is evident. B: Coronal (top) and axial (bottom) three‐dimensional lead reconstructions based on segmentation of basal ganglia structures using the pre‐operative magnetic resonance imaging and post‐operative computerized tomographic scan. Dark brown structures are globus pallidus pars externa and lighter brown structures are globus pallidus pars interna. In the axes, S = superior, R = right, A = anterior. The leads are Medtronic 3389 with left electrode contacts numbered 0 to 3 inferior to superior, whereas the right contacts are numbered from 8 to 11 inferior to superior. Active contacts are highlighted in red. Lead position is localized in globus pallidus pars interna.
