Migration of a Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation Electrode Into the Mediastinum: A Clinical Case Study

This is the first reported case of mediastinal migration of a DRGS electrode. It highlights the unique risks associated with off-label cranial DRGS applications due to anatomical constraints and gravitational forces. The case underscores the urgent need for the development and use of specialized electrodes designed for such locations and reinforces the importance of improved fixation techniques and long-term postoperative vigilance to mitigate migration risks.
