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

Open Microvascular Decompression

2018
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a neurosurgical procedure used to treat various neuralgias of the cranial nerves. The clinical presentation, natural history, pathophysiology, and medical management of trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and nervus intermedius neuralgia is reviewed.

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 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 ...
