Microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1995
✓ The authors report the results of 782 microvascular decompression procedures for hemifacial spasm in 703 patients (705 sides), with follow-up study from 1 to 20 years (mean 8 years). Of 648 patients who had not undergone prior intracranial procedures for hemifacial spasm, 65% were women; their mean age was 52 years, and the mean preoperative duration

Microvascular decompression for cochlear symptoms

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2000
Object. The object of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a new neurovascular decompression technique in relieving symptoms of cochlear nerve dysfunction.Methods. Nineteen patients with slowly progressive hearing loss, low-frequency fluctuating hearing loss, and high-pitched tinnitus due to neurovascular compression (NVC) of the eighth cranial ...

Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia

Acta Neurochirurgica, 1989
An analysis of 57 patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) treated with microvascular decompression (MVD) is presented. Mean follow-up time was 3.1 years. Vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve root was noted in 54 cases. In the remaining 3 patients, adhesions were observed in two, whereas no obvious cause was found in one case. Among the patients

Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression

Microvascular decompression is a widely accepted surgical treatment for compressive cranial nerve pathologies such as trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and other craniofacial pain syndromes. Endoscopy has risen as a safe and effective minimally invasive tool to optimize microvascular decompression.

The Multiscope Technique for Microvascular Decompression

World Neurosurgery, 2017
Endoscopic surgery has rapidly become widespread in neurosurgery in recent years. Endoscopy can offer close and panoramic surgical views with fine illumination, even in the deep intracranial area. However, it also has the following serious drawback: an intracranial blind area between the field lens of the endoscope and the site of the dural opening ...

Microvascular decompression for spasmodic torticollis

Acta Neurochirurgica, 1995
Twenty patients with spasmodic torticollis (ST) were treated by microvascular decompression (MVD) of the spinal accessory nerves, the upper cervical nerve roots and the brainstem. Thirteen were female and seven male. Median age was 47 years (range 39 to 70 years). Median duration of symptoms was 5 years (range 4 months to 17 years).

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.

Microvascular decompression of cochleovestibular nerve

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 2008
The role of microvascular decompression (MVD) in the management of trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasms and glossopharyngeal neuralgia is well-established. However, controversy persisted as to the use of MVD in cochleovestibular neurovascular compression syndrome.

Second Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia in Recurrent Cases After Microvascular Decompression

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
The objectives of this work are to report the outcomes of our finding during microvascular decompression (MVD) for patients with recurrent trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and to introduce the sling retraction technique.The authors performed a retrospective review of redo MVD for consecutive cases with recurrent TN after previous operation.

Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2012
A recent Cochrane systematic review of surgical interventions for trigeminal neuralgia found not a single trial of what is becoming the most popular surgical intervention, namely microvascular decompression (MVD). With an increasing number of anticonvulsant drugs it is likely that patients may not be offered a surgical option for management of their ...
