Cerebral foreign body granulomas after mechanical thrombectomy: Two case reports and a review of the literature

A foreign body granuloma after an endovascular intervention is a rare complication. Some cases of foreign body granulomas, especially after coil embolization, have been reported. However, only four cases of foreign body granulomas after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have previously been reported. The current study reports two cases of post-MT foreign body granulomas, including a biopsy-proven case.
