Background: Some patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) develop peri-lead brain edema after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The influence of edema on neurological function is not well characterized. We investigated the relationship of brain edema after DBS surgery with motor and cognitive function. Methods: Thirteen patients with PD (6 males and 7 females; mean age: 61.2 years) who underwent bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS surgery were included. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination on day 6 post-DBS surgery. The volume of edema was measured either in the frontal white matter or STN on fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images. We examined the relationship between these volumes and changes in cognitive and motor function. Results: Patients were divided into those with frontal subcortical edema (FE) ≥3,000 mm 3 (FE+ group; n = 7) and
