Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia with “Microvascular Decompression Plus” Technique
Objective Although microvascular decompression (MVD) has been widely accepted as an effective treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN), some patients have not been cured.

Microvascular Decompression of the Optic Nerve [PDF]
Symptomatic compression of the optic apparatus by a tortuous internal carotid artery (ICA) is rare. We report a patient with visual decline due to optic nerve compression by the ICA. The patient presented with a visual field deficit and standard work-up revealed no discernible cause. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated distortion of the optic

Radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia using a linear accelerator with BrainLab system: report on initial experience in Lausanne, Switzerland [PDF]
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Radiosurgery is an effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) with minimal complications. Most experience is based on gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) and to a lesser extent on linear accelerators.

Perioperative fluid therapy impairs lymphatic pump function in male rats
Abstract Because of its life‐saving benefits, perioperative IV fluid therapy remains a cornerstone of medical treatment. However, it also induces sustained edemagenic stress. The resulting persistent interstitial edema—excessive fluid accumulation in the interstitium—significantly delays recovery and worsens patient outcomes.

ABSTRACT Iatrogenic nerve injuries are a significant concern for medical professionals and the patients affected. Peri‐procedural nerve injuries result in functional deficits associated with pain and disability. The exact pathophysiology and etiology of peri‐procedural nerve injuries are complex and often elude providers.

Impact of pain and postoperative complications on patient-reported outcome measures 5 years after microvascular decompression or partial sensory rhizotomy for trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Microvascular decompression (MVD) and partial sensory rhizotomy (PSR) provide longstanding pain relief in trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Given their invasiveness, complications can result from such posterior fossa procedures, but the impact of ...

Preliminary results of 45 patients with trigeminal neuralgia treated with radiosurgery compared to hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, using a dedicated linear accelerator. [PDF]
Radiosurgery (RS) and hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) were performed in 23 and 22 patients respectively for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. RS and HSRT were performed with a dedicated linear accelerator (LINAC): an invasive frame

Background Persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) is a rare arterial anastomosis between the basilar artery (BA) and internal carotid artery (ICA). It plays an indispensable role in a number of neurological disorders, including trigeminal neuralgia (TN ...

Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is frequently attributed etiologically to an underlying left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, although its pathophysiology is far more complex and can exhibit significant variations among patients. This review endeavours to systematically unravel the pathophysiological heterogeneity

Future Directions for Surgical Trial Designs in Trigeminal Neuralgia [PDF]
Key points: 1. There is no high quality comparative effectiveness research for surgery versus pharmacological management or for different surgical techniques. 2.
