Bone wax is commonly used in neurosurgical practice as a haemostatic and sealing agent. It is a safe agent, but may lead to adverse effects such as infection, epistaxsis, allergic reaction or foreign body granuloma. There are very few reported cases of the neurological complications of remnant bone wax in the subdural or subarachnoid space. The authors report the case of a foreign body granuloma infiltration through the medulla oblongata due to remnant bone wax in the subarachnoid space after posterior fossa decompressive surgery.
骨蜡在神经外科手术中通常用作止血和封闭剂。它是一种安全的药剂，但可能会导致诸如感染、鼻出血、过敏反应或异物肉芽肿等不良反应。关于硬膜下或蛛网膜下腔残留骨蜡引起神经并发症的报道病例非常少。作者报告了一例在后颅窝减压手术后，由于蛛网膜下腔残留骨蜡导致异物肉芽肿浸润延髓的病例。
