Post-operative intracranial foreign body granuloma: a case report

Neuroradiology. 1987;29(5):497-9. doi: 10.1007/BF00341752.

Abstract

The authors report and discuss some clinical, radiological, histological and ultrastructural aspects of an intracranial foreign body granuloma. This granuloma, which simulated a cavernoma, was due to a surgical swab forgotten during a previous neurosurgical evacuation of an intracerebral hematoma.
