The therapeutic effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been studied, but complications after this treatment have rarely been noted.
A 28-year-old man with treatment-resistant OCD received bilateral ventral capsule/ventral striatum stimulation for 12 months.
Compulsive skin-picking behavior and infection were noted following 12-month DBS treatment.
We removed the implanted right-side pulse generator.
The local inflammation and skin-picking behavior gradually improved. The stimulator device was re-implanted 4 months later.
We suggest that patients with the OC spectrum should be evaluated for skin-picking behaviors during presurgical and postsurgical follow-up to reduce the infection and device removal rates.
已对深部脑刺激(DBS)治疗难治性强迫症(OCD)的疗效进行了研究,但这种治疗后的并发症鲜有报道。
一名28岁难治性强迫症男性接受了双侧腹侧囊/腹侧纹状体刺激治疗12个月。
在12个月的DBS治疗后出现强迫性皮肤搔抓行为和感染。
我们取出了植入的右侧脉冲发生器。
局部炎症和皮肤搔抓行为逐渐改善。4个月后重新植入了刺激器装置。
我们建议,对于患有强迫谱系障碍的患者,应在术前和术后随访期间评估其皮肤搔抓行为,以降低感染率和装置取出率。
