| Popis: | We report a patient with Parkinson's disease whose whole body drenching sweats were completely alleviated by stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus and/or adjacent structures. Sweating reappeared 4 h after the pulse generator (stimulation) was turned off and ceased when stimulation was resumed. Imaging studies with reconstruction indicated that stimulation of, or spread of stimulation from, the caudal medial aspect of the right subthalamic nucleus and/or the caudal aspect of the ventral thalamus/zona incerta may be responsible for alleviating the drenching sweats. |
