Different clinical course of pallidal deep brain stimulation for phasic- and tonic-type cervical dystonia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant brain tumor in adults. Despite therapeutic advances, almost all patients eventually experience tumor recurrence. Leptomeningeal spread (LMS) is not a rare condition of recurrence. However, the standard management protocol of LMS has not been established. Th...
