Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) paddle leads placed via laminectomy procedures have become common as more data accumulates with regards to their clinical efficacy. In this paper, we describe a case of a 72-year-old male patient with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) who underwent a thoracic laminectomy for permanent paddle lead placement. He went on to develop a complication that resulted in a large cerebrospinal fluid leak with a cerebrospinal fluid fistula formation.
