Granuloma formation and arterial thrombosis following cotton wrapping of an intracranial aneurysm. A case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors report the case of a patient whose left middle cerebral artery aneurysm was wrapped with cotton. Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, probably secondary to a foreign-body inflammatory reaction, developed late in the postoperative course. A computerized tomography scan revealed cerebral infarct, and an enhancing expansive lesion at the site of the aneurysm suggesting the formation of a granuloma. These findings are discussed and the literature is reviewed.
