Abstract:
New or persisting symptoms require careful evaluation and investigation. We present a case report of a 58-year-old man who underwent a craniotomy for a subdural haematoma and presented a decade later with worsening neurological symptoms. Investigation revealed the cause to be a delayed foreign body reaction to a retained cotton wool pledget.
