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).

Endoscopic and Microscopic Microvascular Decompression

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2016
The introduction of the endoscope into the neurosurgeon's armamentarium has revolutionized ventral and anterior skull-base surgery and, more recently, has been used in the surgical treatment of cerebellopontine angle (CPA) pathology. The utilization of the endoscope in microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia and other associated ...

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 of Nervus Intermedius

World Neurosurgery, 2018
Nervus intermedius neuralgia is an extremely rare craniofacial neuralgia characterized by intermittent episodes of pain located deep in the ear that last for seconds or minutes and are often triggered by sensory or mechanical stimuli at the posterior wall of the auditory canal without any underlying pathology.

Microvascular decompression for intractable singultus

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2016
Intractable singultus due to cerebrovascular disease is very rare. We report a case of intractable singultus that improved after microvascular decompression and present a literature review. The patient was a 58-year-old man with a 30-year history of persistent singultus.

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.

Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2012
Although microvascular decompression (MVD) has been accepted as effective therapy for hemifacial spasm, failed surgery has been reported frequently. For a sophisticated neurosurgeon, an apparent offending artery is seldom missed. However, it is still an embarrassed situation when the neurovascular conflict site could not be approached.Clinical data ...

Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2014
The microvascular decompression procedure has proven to be a safe and effective option in the surgical management of neurovascular compression syndromes in general and trigeminal neuralgia in particular. This article aims to serve as an overview of the decision-making process, application of the surgical technique, and clinical outcome pertaining to ...

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 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
