Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Teflon has been commonly used as a surgical material. In particular, Teflon has been considered suitable for microvascular decompression of cranial nerves, as it is a stable, inert substance that does not resorb or migrate. Giant cell foreign body reactions after microvascular decompression (MVD) have been reported, but this rare complication has not been well recognized. Here, we report one case of Teflon granuloma that occurred 4 years after MVD for hemifacial spasm. We discuss the cause, histopathological analysis, particular MVD surgical methods, and management of Teflon granuloma.
