Abstract

A spinal cord stimulator is an important long-term treatment modality for refractory chronic pain of multiple etiologies. Hardware-related complications remain known adverse events associated with this intervention. Understanding the risk factors for development of such complications is important for optimizing the efficacy and longevity of spinal cord stimulators. This case report highlights an uncommon case of implantable pulse generator site calcification that was discovered incidentally on spinal cord stimulator explant.

期刊介绍： A & A Case Reports, our new online journal publishing Case Reports, related Editorial Commentary, and Correspondence. Anesthesia & Analgesia 1 and Anesthesiology 2 recently announced that they were suspending publication of Case Reports. One reason is that Case Reports typically reduce the Impact Factor of a journal because they are rarely cited. Regardless of the merits of Impact Factor as a metric of journal worth, journals and their editors necessarily consider Impact Factor in strategic planning. At the same time, Case Reports are appreciated by readers for describing “real life” management of difficult or unusual cases not often encountered by practitioners. In a recent issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, Steven Shafer1 identified many Case Reports whose publication launched productive careers dedicated to solving the puzzle posed by an unusual observation in a single patient.
