Abstract:
We describe a case of a cotton gauze foreign-body granuloma developing 2 months after microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. This complication has not been previously described. Moreover, the patient's initial clinical and radiological findings were suggestive of an acoustic neuroma or meningioma at the time.
