The authors attempted to remove the bilateral DBS system due to repeated device infections caused by metal allergies. However, the intracranial lead had to be left in place, because the lead was strongly adherent to brain parenchyma. Five years later, magnetic resonance imaging showed ring-like enhancement localized around the tip of the intracranial lead, suggesting brain abscess. In response to the symptoms, the remaining left intracranial electrode was removed. Brain abscesses require several months of treatment with appropriate antibiotics, but good outcomes can be achieved with appropriate treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Brain abscess is a rare complication of DBS. In the present case, the infection spread from the subcutaneous infected foci to the intracranial area through the lead, resulting in the formation of a brain abscess. Removing as much of the device as possible from the body is therefore important, even if adhesions with brain parenchyma or other tissues are present, because of the risk of serious complications, as seen in this case.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/case22239","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T08:18:05Z","timestamp":1676881085000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Brain abscess in a patient with generalized dystonia after deep brain stimulation: illustrative case"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Masami","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, KKR Otemae Hospital, Osaka, Japan;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomoyuki","family":"Maruo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, KKR Otemae Hospital, Osaka, Japan;"},{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroaki","family":"Hashimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, KKR Otemae Hospital, Osaka, Japan;"},{"name":"Neurological Diagnosis and Restoration, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka University, Suita, Osaka, Japan; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satoshi","family":"Goto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurodegenerative Disorders Research, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Tokushima University, Tokushima, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yukitaka","family":"Ushio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, KKR Otemae Hospital, Osaka, Japan;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"b1","series-title":"Neurosurg Focus","first-page":"E2","article-title":"Deep brain stimulation: current and future perspectives","volume":"27","author":"Awan NR","year":"2009","unstructured":"Awan NR, Lozano A, Hamani C.
