Her surgical history included thoracic and lumbar surgery for scoliosis correction, followed by removal of hardware material because of failure, and the surgical implantation of a Boston Scientific spinal neurostimulator with linear electrodes at the low thoracic level (Figure 1) for postlaminectomy syndrome, which caused chronic pain and episodes of decreased strength in the lower limbs.
