Table 2. Postoperative Lead Locations for Ataxia DBS Patients.

Subject Target Right Left
SCA2 Vim X 11.2, Y –6.4, Z –1.9
FXTAS Vim X –12.9, Y –9.9, Z –0.79
VOA X –13.4, Y –7.89, Z –1.7
Ataxia NOS Vim X –13, Y –6.91, Z –3.5
SCA17 GPi X 18, Y 1.8, Z –4.1 X –20.5, Y 1.8, Z –6.6
SETX GPi X 19.5, Y 0.71, Z –4.57 X –22, Y –0.3, Z –4.2

Lead locations were derived from computed tomography–magnetic resonance imaging fusion.

Measurements were made in reference to the mid-commissural point: Y, anteroposterior; X, mediolateral; Z, axial; Vim, Thalamic Ventralis Intermedius Nucleus; GPi, Posteroventral Globus Pallidus Internus; VOA–VOP, Thalamic Ventralis Oralis Anterior and Ventralis Oralis Posterior.

Ataxia NOS, Ataxia Not Otherwise Specified; FXTAS, Fragile X Ataxia Syndrome; SCA2, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2; SCA17, Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 17; SETX, Senataxin Mutation-associated Ataxia.
