Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient had hit their head on the window in a car accident, right where their leads were located.The air bag didn't go off in the car accident.The patient was now experiencing symptoms that they felt were device related, including headaches, speech that was fast/slurred, feeling like they've had a glass of wine all the time.The patient said that when they got their new dbs battery, their speech had sped up like it was doing currently and their speech had also sped up like it was now in the past when they had their dbs settings increased.The patient had been seen in the emergency room (er) right after the accident and the er didn't tell the patient they had a concussion or hematoma in the head.The patient said they had been told their regular doctor three days later.They went to the hospital and a ct scan was done that showed that the leads hadn't moved.A manufacturer representative (rep) told the patient that it was unlikely that the car accident had caused damage to the leads because the ct scan showed that leads hadn't moved.The patient said they could feel the lead wire and felt like the lead was right in the area of the brain they had sustained the hematoma.Since they were experiencing these symptoms, they knew that something wasn't right with their dbs and wanted their dbs checked.The patient was redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the issue.The patient stated they had their dbs implanted in a clinical trial for depression.They had tried to get a hold of their dbs surgeon about the situation they were in but hadn't received help from the hcp.Prior to the device, they had depression for 10 years and couldn't hold a job but the dbs changed that to where the patient had their life back.
