OSTEOLYSIS AND CERVICAL CORD COMPRESSION SECONDARY TO SILICONE GRANULOMA FORMATION AROUND A DORSAL SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR: A CASE REPORT

Osteolysis and Cervical Cord Compression Secondary to Silicone Granuloma Formation around a Dorsal Spinal Cord Stimulator: A Case Report

Abstract Spinal cord stimulators (SCSs) have long been in use as a modality for the management of numerous pain pathologies.Along with commonly anticipated morbidities such as displacement, failure (due to Mat Insert fracture or breakage), or infection, there have also been rare but well-documented complications of fibrous scarring, resulting in sp
