Microvascular decompression: a contemporary update [PDF]
Background Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the gold-standard surgical treatment for cranial nerve compression disorders, including trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS), and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN).

Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia [PDF]
Background: A severe, intermittent pain in the trigeminal nerve distribution area on one side of the face is known as trigeminal neuralgia. The primary pathophysiological cause of trigeminal neuralgia is neurovascular compression, which results in ...

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes in Microscopic and Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm [PDF]
Fully endoscopic microvascular decompression is increasingly being used to treat hemifacial spasm; however, its efficacy must be validated by comparing it with conventional microscopic microvascular decompression.

Microvascular Decompression using Muscle Graft for Vertebral Artery Medullary Compression Syndrome
It is well known that brainstem dysfunction may be caused by vascular compression of the medulla oblongata. However, only a limited number of reports have found microvascular decompression surgery to be an effective treatment for symptomatic patients ...

Efficacy of primary microvascular decompression versus subsequent microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
OBJECTIVETrigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by intermittent, paroxysmal, and lancinating pain along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Microvascular decompression (MVD) directly addresses compression of the trigeminal nerve. The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients undergoing MVD as their first surgical intervention ...

Technique of microvascular decompression [PDF]
Vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve in the cerebellopontine angle is now generally accepted as the primary source or “trigger” causing trigeminal neuralgia. A clear clinicopathological association exists in the neurovascular relationship. In general, pain in the third division of the trigeminal nerve is caused by rostral compression, pain in ...
