The use of a Teflon implant for Jannetta surgery in patients with trigeminal neuralgia is complicated in rare cases by the development of a Teflon granuloma and can cause recurrent facial pain. The article presents a clinical case of a Teflon granuloma developed after microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve root, describes the surgical findings and histological picture, and analyzes the literature, causes of granuloma development, and recommendations for treatment of these patients.
Применение тефлонового имплантата при выполнении операции Jannetta у больных с тригеминальной невралгией в редких случаях осложняется развитием тефлон-гранулемы, что может явиться причиной рецидива болевого синдрома. Представлен клинический случай образования тефлон-гранулемы после микроваскулярной декомпрессии корешка тройничного нерва, описаны операционные находки и гистологическая картина, а также проведен анализ литературы, причин образования гранулем и указаны рекомендации по лечению этих больных.
