Early glucocorticoid therapy for brainstem edema associated with acute inflammatory Teflon granuloma after microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia: illustrative case

Although surgical removal is generally recommended for symptomatic Teflon granuloma, early glucocorticoid therapy may be effective when acute inflammatory Teflon granuloma is suspected and infection has been carefully excluded. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE251023.
