Deep brain stimulation hardware-related complications and their management: A single-center retrospective analysis of 65 patients with various dystonic conditions

1.Slipped connector to the retromastoid area where the skin is thin and prone to erode caused the visible erosion without visible signs of contaminant infection. The connector is clearly visible thought the eroded skin. 2. The erosion over the right implantable pulse generator in the subclavicular area. 3. The infected slipped connector to the retromastoid region with visible hardware (connector and proximal part of connection wire). 4. Large infected erosion of the implantable pulse generator in the left subclavicular area with sings of infection (redness of the skin without purulent leakage).
