Impact of pain and postoperative complications on patient-reported outcome measures 5 years after microvascular decompression or partial sensory rhizotomy for trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]

, 2018
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 ...

Long‐Term Effectiveness of Early Versus Late Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia Secondary to Arterial Compression

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between the duration of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) symptoms prior to initial microvascular decompression (MVD) and long‐term outcomes is unclear. We evaluated whether the pre‐operative symptom duration is associated with complete freedom from pain when MVD is performed as the initial procedure in TN secondary to ...

Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia caused by persistent trigeminal artery associated with craniosynostosis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
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 ...

A pacemaker-assisted microvascular decompression for a patient with left primary facial spasm and arrhythmia: a case report

BMC Surgery, 2021
Background Primary facial spasm accompanied by arrhythmia is a rare clinical phenomenon and has not been reported before. We describe this phenomenon and discuss its mechanism and treatment.

13. Trigeminal Neuralgia

Pain Practice, Volume 25, Issue 5, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disorder characterized by recurrent, unilateral brief electric shock‐like pains, abrupt in onset and termination, limited to the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve, and triggered by innocuous stimuli.
