In our experience, TT is a rather common manifestation of TS, especially in a setting of treatment with aripiprazole, and is a frequent cause of referrals for the evaluation of idiopathic Parkinson disease. There are reports of successful treatment of tardive orofacial dyskinesia and dystonia with deep brain stimulation (DBS) using globus pallidus interna (GPi) as the primary target, but the literature on subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS for tardive dyskinesia (TD) is lacking. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on DBS treatment of TT.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"st2\"><jats:title>Case Description:<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 75-year-old right-handed female with the medical history of generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder had been treated with thioridazine and citalopram from 1980 till 2010. Around 2008, she developed orolingual dyskinesia. She was started on tetrabenazine in June 2011. She continued to have tremors and developed Parkinsonian gait, both of which worsened overtime. She underwent DBS placement in the left STN in January 2017 with near-complete resolution of her tremors. She underwent right STN implantation in September 2017 with similar improvement in symptoms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"st3\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>While DBS-GPi is the preferred treatment in treating oral TD and dystonia, DBS-STN could be considered a safe and effective target in patients with predominating TT and\/or tardive Parkinsonism. This patient saw a marked improvement in her symptoms after implantation of DBS electrodes, without significant relapse or recurrence in the years following implantation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_723_2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,16]],"date-time":"2020-12-16T05:55:18Z","timestamp":1608098118000},"page":"444","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Resolution
