Abstract
IDE is a rare complication of DBS procedures, presenting from few days to months after surgery. Symptoms can be mild and not-specific, and the condition is self-limiting. The diagnosis of IDE is made after exclusion of vascular events or infections. The pathophysiology is still unexplained. The recognition of this complication can help avoiding unnecessary surgical procedures (system explantation) and antibiotic treatment.
