Abstract
Reports of cutaneous eruptions after spinal cord stimulation are extremely rare. Here we report two different cutaneous reactions with two different pathophysiological mechanisms, both involving silicone. The first case is original because it is the first documented case of a foreign-body reaction involving granuloma formation in response to particles of silicone present in the components of a neurostimulator. The second case concerns contact dermatitis to silicone (present in the connector block and electrode sheaths).
