摘要：
Intrathecal baclofen ( ITB) is used for unresponsiveness to other treatment for patients with stiff- person syndrome ( SPS). The authors report a patient with SPS who developed acute and life- threatening baclofen withdrawal symptoms. Open surgery disclosed a small position- dependent leak in the catheter connector. This catheter failure was not detected by standard noninvasive checking methods.
