Increased risk of lead fracture and migration in dystonia compared with other movement disorders following deep brain stimulation.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy is a continually expanding field in the functional neurosurgical treatment of movement disorders. However, the occurrence of adverse events related to implanted hardware cannot be overlooked. We report on a specific feature noted in our experience of DBS-related...

| description | Deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy is a continually expanding field in the functional neurosurgical treatment of movement disorders. However, the occurrence of adverse events related to implanted hardware cannot be overlooked. We report on a specific feature noted in our experience of DBS-related complications. From 1998 until present we have found an overall rate of 5.3% of DBS electrode lead dysfunction (out of 133 patients) in our series (slipped leads 2.3%, lead fracture 3.8%). Interestingly, all of these failures occurred in dystonia patients (18.4% of all dystonia patients and 9.2% of all electrodes). We postulate on mechanisms that may explain why these complications predominate in this group of patients. |
