Delayed Severe Dizziness Due to Electrode Paddle Migration after Auditory Brainstem Implantation: A Case Report.

This article from the Journal of Neurological Surgery discusses a case of delayed severe dizziness in a 24-year-old female with neurofibromatosis 2-related schwannomatosis (NF2) who underwent auditory brainstem implantation (ABI). The patient experienced debilitating dizziness due to electrode paddle migration one year post-surgery, leading to the discontinuation of ABI use and subsequent improvement in symptoms. The case highlights a rare complication of ABI in NF2 patients and emphasizes the importance of patient counseling and monitoring for long-term device positioning. [Extracted from the article]
