Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established safe neurosurgical symptomatic therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) in whom medical treatment fails to provide adequate symptom control. Skin-related complications, particularly skin erosion, may lead to exposure of the DBS device, compromising the effectiveness of the DBS device. We presented a patient who suffered from skin erosion over bilateral burr hole site. A Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) approach was used to provide staged surgical treatment for scalp reconstruction. Without the removal of the DBS system. No alteration of DBS system efficacy was observed and the bilateral wounds healed well during the follow-up period.
