AbstractTwiddler's syndrome describes the intentional external manipulation or spontaneous rotation of implanted devices such as cardiac pacemakers. Here we report the same phenomenon occurring in a patient with an implanted deep brain stimulator generator. The clinical syndrome is described and potential technical nuances to prevent its occurrence are suggested.Copyright 2008 S. Karger AG, Basel.
