T1  - Tissue expansion for challenging DBS hardware erosions in patients with Parkinson’s disease
T2  - Brain and Spine
N2  - Highlights
• Consider tissue expanders for challenging DBS cases in PD patients with hardware erosion.
• Placement of tissue expander is essential in planning the reconstruction.
• MRI-compatibility of the tissue expander is paramount for shortening the total duration of anesthesia.
• Role of routine skin biopsies to identify PD patients at additional risk for developing scalp defects should be investigated.
