The implantation of deep brain stimulator electrodes is associated with infrequent complications. These complications are consistent across prospective trials and include infection, skin erosion, hemorrhage, and lead misplacement. Nuances of surgical technique can be used to minimize the risk of these commonly noted complications. Several of these technical nuances are highlighted in this video submission.The video can be found here: https://youtu.be/GL09W9p013g.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Peripheral and central sensory loss are often associated with significant tremor or sensory ataxia, which can be highly refractory to medical therapy. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 67-year-old man with progressive and debilitating intention tremor from monoclonal gammopathy-associated peripheral neuropathy. The patient was implanted with bilateral thalamic deep brain stimulator electrodes under microelectrode guidance. Following optimization of stimulation parameters, the patient's appendicular tremor and gait improved, as did his general activities of daily living. CONCLUSION: These initial findings suggest that deep brain stimulation may benefit not only tremor presumed to originate from central nervous system dysfunction, but also tremor originating peripherally from neuropathy-related sensory loss.

An awake craniotomy for tumour and epilepsy surgery allows for the mapping of eloquent brain function to minimize its injury and/or for the localization of an epileptic focus. The insertion of deep brain stimulators for the treatment of functional neurosurgical disorders is also frequently performed with an awake patient. The role of the anaesthetist is important in order to have a comfortable and cooperative patient, for the use of appropriate sedation to allow for mapping, and careful vigilance to rapidly diagnose and treat any complication. This chapter discusses the overall rationale for, and the anaesthetic management of, patients undergoing awake craniotomy for tumours, epilepsy surgery, or deep brain stimulator placement.
