Cranioplasty is a procedure routinely performed in neurosurgery.
It is associated with significant morbidity and several types of
post-surgical complications. Atypical facial pain has not been
documented yet as a potential postoperative complication. We
discuss a case of atypical facial pain reported during the
immediate postoperative period after a patient-specific
implant patient-specific cranioplasty. The pain was refractory
to medical treatment and sphenopalatine ganglion block.
Eventually, the pain disappeared after the surgical revision of
the cranial implant.
