Abstract
Two patients with chronic hypertonus (in a decerebrate state) as a result of hypoxia are described. Long-term cerebellar stimulation modified their extraordinarily severe extensor-flexor rigidity phenomena that had resulted in chronic opisthotonus.This publication has 38 references indexed in Scilit:
