Peri-lead edema (PLE) after deep brain stimulation may mimic brain infection on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present a case of symptomatic PLE with annular contrast enhancement on MRI suggestive of an infectious cause. We show that careful clinical evaluation and laboratory testing, in addition to neuroimaging, are essential to guide treatment and to avoid unnecessary interventions in PLE cases with a favorable spontaneous course.

Background: Peri-lead edema (PLE) is a poorly understood complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS), which has been described in patients presenting occasionally with profound and often delayed symptoms with an incidence ranging from 0.4% up to even 100%. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the association of brain and brain compartment volumes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the occurrence of PLE in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients after DBS implantation in subthalamic nuclei (STN).

To analyze the imaging changes of in the early period after subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease (PD) and its impact on electrode impedance by the application of 3.0T MRI-compatible devices. A retrospective analysis was performed for the data of 43 PD patients who underwent 3.

Objective: Idiopathic peri-lead edema (IPLE) is being increasingly described as a potential complication occurring after DBS surgery. Its incidence and relationship to post-operative symptoms, though, are still poorly defined and its understanding and management yet limited.
Methods: We reviewed delayed (≥ 72 h) post-operative CT imaging of patients who underwent DBS surgery at our Institution.
