Cranial neuralgias: from physiopathology to pharmacological treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cranial neuralgias are paroxysmal painful disorders of the head characterised by some shared features such as unilaterality of symptoms, transience and recurrence of attacks, superficial and "shock-like" quality of pain and the presence of triggering ...

Trigeminal microvascular decompression for short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
A significant proportion of patients with short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks (SUNHA) are refractory to medical treatments. Neuroimaging studies have suggested a role for ipsilateral trigeminal neurovascular conflict with morphological

Long-term follow-up of microvascular decompression for management of trigeminal neuralgia

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2022
Background Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is mostly caused by neurovascular compression of the trigeminal nerve and the root entry zone at the brain stem. Microvascular decompression (MVD) has been established as a standard treatment for trigeminal neuralgia ...

Microvascular Decompression using muscle graft for interposition: A retrospective study

open access: yesNepal Journal of Neuroscience, 2021
Objective: This studies aims to evaluate the outcome of Microvascular Decompression (MVD) using a muscle graft for interposition in Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN), Hemifacial Spasm (HFS) and Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia (GPN).  All surgeries were performed by a

The Validity of Intraoperative Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEPs) for the Postoperative Hearing Impairments in Microvascular Decompression (MVD)

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2004
Background: Intraoperative brainstem auditory evoked potentials reduced the sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) after microvascular decompression (MVD). This study was performed to evaluate the validity of BAEP parameters of latency or amplitude to SNHL. Methods: 557 patients out of 930 hemifacial spasm patients performed MVD, who were free from hearing ...

Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia in the elderly: efficacy and safety [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
OBJECTIVE The safety and efficacy of surgical microvascular decompression (MVD) in elderly patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is controversially discussed in the literature. A widespread reluctance to expose this cohort to major intracranial surgery

Evidence of descending inhibition deficits in atypical but not classical trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a rare neuropathic facial pain disorder. Two forms of TN, classical TN (CTN) and atypical TN (ATN), are reported and probably have different aetiologies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional integrity

Unusual recurrence of trigeminal neuralgia after microvascular decompression by muscle interposal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and persistent or recurrent facial pain after microvascular decompression (MVD) typically undergo less invasive procedures in the hope of providing pain relief.
