case_images: A skull radiograph was performed immediately after surgery to confirm the location of the lead [Figure 1a].
case_images: Images of the implantable pulse generator (IPG). (a) Chest radiographs showing the IPG in the left chest wall immediately postoperative and (arrows b and c) coiling of the extension wire around one year after deep brain stimulation surgery targeting the right globus pallidus internus. (c) A magnified image reveals the IPG has flipped left to right. (d) Intraoperative finding showing multiple coils in the extension wire near the IPG.

case_images: However, a chest X-ray during a routine check-up incidentally revealed that the extension wire was twisted in the chest cavity, and the IPG was flipped left to right [Figure 2].
