Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective for movement, pain, psychiatric disorders, or epilepsy. Lead fracture of DBS is a rare hardware complication. Both globus pallidus internus (Gpi) deep brain stimulation procedure was done in a 61-year-female with dystonia in another hospital. Her symptoms recurred 3 years later after initial improvement, but her symptoms didn’t improve despite
program adjustment. She was transferred to our hospital. Chest radiograph showed fracture of the implantable pulse generator
(IPG) connection site. New IPG and extension line was replaced under general anesthesia, and her symptoms improved. |
