MR Imaging of Teflon Induced Granuloma as a Cause of Recurrent Trigeminal Neuralgia Following Microvascular Decompression

Abstract

Soni N, Sunil K

Teflon is an inert material used for microvascular decompression and placed between the trigeminal nerve and offending vessel. Teflon granuloma is considered a less known cause for recurrent facial pain after MVD. Here we report our experience with Teflon ganuloma and its treatment.
