Cranial-retained surgical sponges (gossypiboma or textiloma) are rare incidents and mostly asymptomatic. However, they can be confused with other masses such as a hematoma abscess or tumor. During early stages, some gossypibomas can cause infection or abscess formation.
A 22-year-old Turkish female who had frontal lobe brain surgery to remove an abscess 2 months previously was admitted with complaints of headache and vomiting.
Gossypiboma was confirmed in the patient. Following cranial surgery, gossypiboma should be considered as a differential diagnosis of recurrence of previous surgical operations.
颅内残留手术海绵（棉球瘤或纺织瘤）是罕见事件，大多无症状。然而，它们可能与其他肿块如血肿、脓肿或肿瘤相混淆。在早期阶段，一些棉球瘤可导致感染或脓肿形成。
一名22岁的土耳其女性，2个月前因额叶脑脓肿接受手术切除，现因头痛和呕吐入院。
该患者确诊为棉球瘤。颅脑手术后，棉球瘤应被视为既往手术复发的鉴别诊断之一。
