A rare case of guidewire migration to central nervous system. A surgical case report
This is an extremely rare case of guidewire migration involving the central nervous system. It is essential that when guidewires are not located following insertion, further investigations are carried out to ensure that it is no longer in situ. This will avoid delayed presentations, with considerable associated morbidity and mortality.
