Microvascular decompression: a contemporary update [PDF]

BMC Surgery
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).

Case report: Fully endoscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Microvascular decompression is safe, effective, and micro-invasive. Due to these advantages, it has become the mainstream treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and hemifacial spasm.

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes in Microscopic and Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm [PDF]

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica
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 for Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia

Neurosurgery, 1995
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is an uncommon cause of facial pain with a relative frequency of 0.2 to 1.3% when compared with trigeminal neuralgia. It is characterized by intermittent, lancinating pain involving the posterior tongue and pharynx, often with radiation to deep ear structures.

Long‐Term Effectiveness of Early Versus Late Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia Secondary to Arterial Compression [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between the duration of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) symptoms prior to initial microvascular decompression (MVD) and long‐term outcomes is unclear. We evaluated whether the pre‐operative symptom duration is associated with complete freedom from pain when MVD is performed as the initial procedure in TN secondary to ...

Efficacy of primary microvascular decompression versus subsequent microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2016
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 ...

Technical note for microvascular decompression at trigeminal neuralgia caused by its’ compression by vertebral artery

Ukrainian Neurosurgical Journal, 2008
The technique of microvascular decompression at trigeminal neuralgia caused by nerve’s flattening against the tentorium is described. The original method is used to make a space between the tentorium and tortuous artery — inserting a piece of ...
