Symptomatic cerebral vasospasm after glioblastoma resection and carmustine wafers implantation. A case report

Cerebral vasospasm is an extremely rare adverse effect after carmustine wafers implantation in glioma surgery, with only one case reported. In our case, intra-arterial nimodipine was rapidly effective. Although rare, such a potentially disastrous complication should be considered when a new neurological deficit unexpectedly occurs after carmustine wafers implantation, and vascular investigation should be undertaken.
