Gelatin sponge, oxidized cellulose and microfibrillar collagen are used to achieve hemostasis during neurosurgical procedures. Hemostatic agents may produce clinically symptomatic, radiologically apparent mass lesions. The differential diagnosis should include the foreign body along with recurrent tumor. We present a case of intracranial hemostatic agents found in a 56-year-old male patient sev...

The implantation of any foreign material into the body leads to development an inflammatory and fibrotic process—the reaction (FBR). Upon a tissue, cells immune system become attracted attempt degrade it. If this degradation fails, fibroblasts envelop form physical barrier isolate it from rest body. Long-term medical devices faces great challenge presented by FBR, as cellular response disrupts ...
