Title: | Twiddler's syndrome after dorsal root ganglion stimulation: A case report | Authors: | Vanloon, M RAYMAEKERS, Vincent Meeuws, S PLAZIER, Mark |
Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCI LTD | Source: | Heliyon, 9 (8) (Art N° e18365) | Abstract: | Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) is a promising therapy for chronic neuropathic pain, but complications of this therapy are poorly understood. Twiddler's syndrome, a rare complication characterized by lead displacement and coiling of wires, has been reported in other neuromodulation devices, but has not been described in the context of DRG-S. Here, we present a first-of-a-kind case report of Twiddler's syndrome occurring after 8 months of DRG-S. This case report highlights the importance of considering Twiddler's syndrome as a potential complication in patients undergoing DRG-S, especially in those with significant weight loss history. | Keywords: | Dorsal root ganglion stimulation;Neurostimulation;Twiddler;Complications | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/43170 | e-ISSN: | 2405-8440 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18365 | ISI #: | 001051239300001 | Rights: | 2023 The Authors.
