The authors present the case of a 78-year-old right-handed female with a past medical history of Parkinson's disease, treated with implantation of a left-sided subthalamic nucleus St. Jude Medical Infinity® (Abbott Medical, Austin, TX) deep brain stimulator, who presented with leadassociated discomfort, or "bowstringing". Further investigation by chest X-ray revealed an extensive case of distal lead coiling. However, it was surprising that, despite the extensive coiling, the lead stayed intact without hardware failure as proven by patient remaining asymptomatic from her Parkinson's disease and intraoperative impedance testing demonstrating normal results. After revision surgery, the patient remained asymptomatic. Due to paucity of cases of this disease in the literature, specific predictive risk factors are not known, but certain patient characteristics may help take precautions.
