Remarkably, therapeutic and electrode impedances were found to be perfectly normal (contact 6: 896 Ohm), when the patient inclined his head to the left (see Figure 1).
Radiography in (A) Upright and (B) Inclined Head Position. A mild traction of the cable (red circle) in the upright position might be observed.

This assumption was further supported by additional dynamic radiography, which showed a traction of the left extension lead, improving with inclination of the head to the left (Figure 2).
