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 ...
