A 1×1 cm large skin ulceration over the left DBS-electrode fixation cap. Even though the material is exposed there is no sign of infection; no inflammation of the wound edges and no pus formation. This complication may be common in AN patients as the disease causes severe skin atrophy which can lead to wound healing disorders and ulcerations over the implanted material. AN, anorexia nervosa; DBS, deep brain stimulation.
