ABSTRACT
In March 1993, a patient with idiopathic Parkinson disease who had received an adrenal brain autograft 6 years before underwent bilateral stereotactic transplantation of a mesencephalic cell suspension into the striatum, in order to prevent further deterioration in his neurological condition. During the CT-guided surgical planning and the transplantation procedures, electrophysiological evidence of the adrenal graft viability was assessed. Based on these findings, we drew the preliminary conclusion that the chromaffin tissue implanted in April 1987 is still functional, which explains the clinical evolution of this patient during the postoperative long-term follow-up
