"Twiddler syndrome" in two patients with deep brain stimulation.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is increasingly used for preoperative mapping of motor function, and clinical evidence for its benefit for brain tumor patients is accumulating. In respect to language mapping with repetitive nTMS, literature reports have yielded variable results, and it i...
