Management of severe spasticity following penetrating brain injury is often a difcult problem. Orally administered medications generally offer limited benets. Intrathecally administered baclofen has been shown to be effective in patients with spasticity caused by spinal cord injury and stroke, however, the effectiveness of ITB for spasticity related to penetrating brain injury is not well established. We reported two cases of spastic hypertonia following gunshot injury to brain with brief review of literature upon role of intrathecal baclofen pump (ITB) in cortical spastic hypertonia

Abstract Background Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently complain of intractable pain that is resistant to conservative treatments. Here, we report the successful application of 1-kHz high-frequency spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in a patient with refractory neuropathic pain secondary to SCI. Case presentation A 69-year-old male diagnosed with SCI (C4 American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A) presented with severe at-level bilateral upper extremity neuropathic pain. Temporary improvement in his symptoms with a nerve block implied peripheral component involvement. The patient received SCS, and though the tip of the leads could not reach the cervical vertebrae, a 1-kHz frequency stimulus relieved the intractable pain. Conclusions SCI-related symptoms may include peripheral components; SCS may have a considerable effect on intractable pain. Even when the SCS electrode lead cannot be positioned in the target area, 1-kHz high-frequency SCS may still produce positive effects.
