research Crusted plaques of the scalp after deep brain stimulation surgery
A 77-year-old man with Parkinson’s disease and androgenic alopecia developed crusted plaques on his scalp after undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The plaques, located on the vertex and surrounded by an erythematous patch, were initially suspected to involve hardware infection.
