“…29 We avoid closing the mastoid air cells with bone wax, as it is not very helpful in preventing CSF leak and may increase the risk of infection and foreign-body granuloma. [30][31][32] Preservation and refixation of the mastoid cortex provide better cosmetic appearance, avoid complications of the defect after mastoidectomy, and also help in holding the fat inside the drilled mastoid cavity.…”

Bone wax is a commonly used hemostatic agent with minimal complications. Some of the known complications include inflammation, granuloma formation, infection, and impaired osteogenesis. Several clinical reports of bone wax migration have also been reported. In this paper, the authors present a rare patient of bone wax migration intracranially in a 6-year-old patient who initially underwent craniotomy for the evacuation of subdural hematoma and repair of depressed skull fracture. The patient then underwent craniotomy scalp scar revision several months later. Postoperatively he developed short-term memory loss, apraxia, and word finding difficulties. The imaging findings were consistent with the presence of a foreign body centered in the posterior aspect of the left middle temporal gyrus, which was surgically removed and found to be bone wax. The patient recovered well with complete improvement of his neurologic symptoms.
