Lead migration and postdural puncture headache following spinal cord stimulator placement in patient with cough: a case report
This is the first documented case at our academic center of concurrent lead migration and PDPH following SCS placement. Our findings suggest that chronic coughing may represent an unrecognized risk factor for lead migration and PDPH. Providers should address unresolved coughing prior to SCS implantation and consider improved anchoring techniques to minimize risks.
