Abstract
An unusual complication following surgery for decompression of the Gasserian ganglion is reported. Eight years postoperatively this patient developed a left temporal lobe granuloma caused by a piece of wood used to plug the foramen spinosum at surgery. The patient''s clinical and radiological findings were suggestive of a glioma involving the temporal lobe.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
