Abstract
Noninfectious, non-hemorrhagic, delayed, symptomatic brain edema occurs in approximately 3% of implanted leads and is more common in re-implantations (9%) compared to new implantations (2%). In re-implantations, the edema is more common when the same trajectory is used (18%) compared to a new trajectory (0%). The edema generally occurs 3 to 8 days after implantation, although immediate post-op CT is normal and seizures are a common presenting feature.
