Abstrakt: Cranioplasty is a procedure routinely performed in neurosurgery. It is associated with significant morbidity and several types of postsurgical complications. The most common are infections, bone flap resorption and hematomas. Atypical facial pain has not been documented yet as a potential postoperative complication. We present a case of atypical facial pain reported at inmediate postoperative period after cranioplasty. The pain was refractory to medical treatment and sphenopalatine ganglion block. Eventually, the pain totally disappeared after surgical revision of the cranial implant.
