The Clinical Journal of Pain, 2002
Microvascular decompression (MVD) remains the only treatment of trigeminal neuralgia that directly addresses the presumed pathogenesis. It is a proven therapy, associated with the longest duration of pain relief while preserving facial sensation. The authors' premise for advocating early MVD is the belief that the disease's natural progression, in the ...

Microvascular Decompression for Tinnitus
Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1997Tinnitus had been considered as a surgically incurable disease before Dr. Jannetta's microvascular decompression. Fifty-nine patients were operated on between February 1996 and January 1997 in our center. Selection of the patients was based on personal history, neurootologic test and MRI findings.

Microvascular decompression operations
2007Moving a blood vessel off the intracranial portion of the auditory nerve can successfully cure some individuals with specific forms of subjective tinnitus. This operation, known as microvascular decompression (MVD) is in general use to treat other hyperactive disorders such as hemifacial spasm (HFS) and trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) where the operation ...

Microvascular decompression for spasmodic torticollis
Acta Neurochirurgica, 1995Twenty 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, 2016The 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 for intractable singultus
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2016Intractable 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.

Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2012Although 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 ...
