Cranioplasty is a procedure routinely performed in neurosurgery. It is associated with significant morbidity and several types of post-surgical complications. Atypical facial pain has not been documented yet as a potential postoperative complication. We discuss a case of atypical facial pain reported during the immediate postoperative period after a patient-specific implant patient-specific cranioplasty. The pain was refractory to medical treatment and sphenopalatine ganglion block. Eventually, the pain disappeared after the surgical revision of the cranial implant.
