Abstract
En 中文
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an established therapy for chronic pain. While hardware complications such as lead migration or infection are well-documented, biological responses such as fibrotic encapsulation are rare and underrecognized. Prior reports of fibrosis related to SCS have been limited to the epidural space, primarily involving paddle leads. We report the first known case of intradural fibrotic scarring following percutaneous SCS implantation, resulting in delayed spinal cord compression and progressive neurologic decline.
