Functional complications of therapeutic stimulation.
A new category of complications during therapeutic stimulation of the brain was described and classified as functional complications. They occurred by combined stimulation in one level of the brain, namely in thalamus, by unprecisely localisation of the electrode or by its spontaneous dislocation from the target, what is dependent on the quality of the electrode. Mostly they can endanger the patient.
