Endoscopic and Microscopic Microvascular Decompression [PDF]

open access: possibleNeurosurgery 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

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 ...

Development and Evaluation of a Preoperative Trigeminal Neuralgia Scoring System to Predict Long-Term Outcome Following Microvascular Decompression.

Neurosurgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Microvascular decompression (MVD) can be an effective intervention for trigeminal neuralgia (TN); however, an optimal system for patient selection and surgical outcome prediction has not been defined.

Microvascular Decompression for Tinnitus

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1997
Tinnitus 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 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

The Utility of Intraoperative Lateral Spread Recording in Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Neurosurgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the surgical treatment of choice for hemifacial spasm (HFS). During MVD, monitoring of the abnormal lateral spread response (LSR), an evoked response to facial nerve stimulation, has been traditionally used

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 operations

2007
Moving 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 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.
