Skin erosion is a common complication after deep brain stimulator procedures. Despite being a relatively common event, there is no standard surgical technique or a widely accepted guideline for managing this kind of complication.
We describe a case of cutaneous erosion in the connector's site of deep brain stimulation case, surgically managed with anterior displacement of the connectors and overlapping and wrapping the connections within the temporal muscle.
Postoperatively, the patient did well and achieved complete resolution of the skin erosion, with no signs of infection or new skin lesions.
This technique demonstrated to be effective in this case in the long-term follow-up.
皮肤糜烂是脑深部刺激器手术常见的并发症。尽管这是一个相对常见的情况,但对于处理这类并发症,尚无标准的手术技术或广泛接受的指南。
我们描述了一例脑深部刺激病例中连接器部位皮肤糜烂的情况,通过将连接器向前移位并在颞肌内重叠和包裹连接部位进行手术处理。
术后,患者情况良好,皮肤糜烂完全消退,无感染迹象或新的皮肤病变。
在该病例的长期随访中,这项技术证明是有效的。
