Displacement of a deep brain stimulator lead during placement of an additional ipsilateral lead.

摘要: Objective:  The use of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been increasing. It follows the premise neuromodulation in that it is reversible, as compared to previous lesioning procedures. Materials and Methods:  Complications with DBS are inherently low range from short-term complications during surgery such hemorrhage long-term include lead fractures infection. Over time, authors have experienced indications for additional placements or change position on ipsilateral side. There inherent possibility direct contact between leads microelectrode. This can malpositioning, displacement a placed previously, malfunctioning. Result:  We report case which previously becomes displaced microelectrode recording side. Conclusion:  scenario was corrected had no clinical functional complication. Placement an be safe effective treatment option.
