Spanish term or phrase: Decúbito
The following appear in an E.R. report for a patient with Parkinson's disease and DBS system.

Motivo de Consulta:
Decúbito cable extensión ECP.
...

Evolución y comentarios:
Paciente con antecedentes de EPI tratada mediante ECP NSTB en 2021. Derivada a SURG desde consulta de NRL por decúbito de cable de sistema de ECP NSTD de mas de tres meses de evolución.
Su familia refiere traumatismo en dicha región desde hace 3 meses y posteriormente aparición de decúbito con exposición de electrodo derecho en convexidad craneal, antes de conexión con extensión del sistema.
...

Expl: exposición de cable de ECP a nivel de electrodo intracraneal en vertex antes de conexión.
...

Diagnostico principal:
Decúbito electrodo intracraneal.

Please can anyone suggest the intended meaning of "decúbito" in this context ("decubitus" clearly does not appear to fit)?
Thanks.

English translation:lead extrusion
Explanation:
Creo que decúbito se refiere específicamente a la extrusión en este caso de un cable del dispositivo implantado que se produce como consecuencia de la erosión progresiva del tejido que rodea inicialmente a la porción extruida.

Ver por ejemplo aquí:
Decúbito del marcapasos: Consiste en la erosión mecánica del bolsillo subcutáneo donde se aloja el generador o del trayecto subcutáneo de los cables, con la exposición parcial del dispositivo.

Así, una cosa sería la erosión aislada, otra el desplazamiento -pej. de la punta del electrodo (de manera que deja de estimular la zona o el núcleo que debe ser estimulado) y otra la extrusión (tras erosión previa del tejido circundante).

Curiosamente -lo dejo a título de anécdota- ocasionalmente también aparece en inglés con el mismo sentido:

pacemaker decubitus

skin erosion


Explanation:

Skin erosion around the DBS extension cable.

También se habla de decúbito en marcapasos.

Definición de decúbito

Considerando decúbito el adelgazamiento de la capa cutánea sobre el generador con adherencia del mismo, con o sin signos inflamatorios locales.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263511149_Evolucion...

In addition, DBS may cause skin erosion and infection because of the subcutaneous placement of a bulky foreign body called an internal pulse generator (IPG) and a long extension.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnagi.2022.8197...

Skin erosion and infection are common but serious problems in deep brain stimulation (DBS).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6208212/

Skin erosion is a common complication after deep brain stimulator procedures.

Skin erosion is the loss of epidermis over the implants (leads, internal pulse generator, wires, or extensions), exposing hardware and predisposing to local infections.

For example, due to intracranial electrode insertion, DBS can cause intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In addition, DBS may cause skin erosion and infection because of the subcutaneous placement of a bulky foreign body called an internal pulse generator (IPG) and a long extension.

Asker: Hi both. Many thanks for the suggestion. This seems to be a good fit. I was thinking of "exposure" of the lead.

electrode migration/displacement


Explanation:
Due to displacement of the electrode after trauma.
Ref:
Despite the best efforts to ensure stereotactic precision, deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes can wander from their intended position after implantation. In many cases, the migration occurs before closure of the operative wound and is likely due to an inadvertent movement of the electrode during the procedure. However, several centers reported late migration of electrodes occurring months or years after the initial surgery. Most of these displacements are in the upward direction and are thought to be related to a tenuous attachment of the electrode to the skull that allows the electrode to slide as the head and neck are turned. However, Susatia et al. (12) described a patient with cervical dystonia in which the displacement was in the downward direction and hypothesized that the electrode was driven deeper into the brain by the vigorous dystonic movements. We report a patient with Parkinson disease discovered to have downward electrode migration 10 years after successful implantation.

Asker: Thanks for the suggestion and information Chema. I wasn't familiar with this term, but it does appear to be the closest match.

Electrodes can injure skin through direct pressure, chemical dermatitis, and local heating when exposed to electromagnetic fields. cEEG-electrode-related pressure ulcers (EERPU) are preventable lesions that increase patient discomfort and risk for infections.

Note to reference poster
Asker: High Liz. That's what the family appear to report. I think the best option could be "skin erosion", as suggested, with the lead being exposed. An associated report uses the term "externalizacion" instead of "decúbito".
