Özet

Background Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a widely applied procedure in the treatment of patients with advanced Parkinson disease and is generally performed under local anesthesia. Here we report our experience with the conversion to general anesthesia in two patients with advanced Parkinson disease because of fear reactions intraoperatively.
