Advances in Intraoperative Neurophysiology During Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm. [PDF]
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a widely used surgical intervention to relieve the abnormal compression of a facial nerve caused by an artery or vein that results in hemifacial spasm (HFS). Various intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (ION) and mapping methodologies have been used since the 1980s, including brainstem auditory evoked ...

Acute Glaucoma Attack Following Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia. [PDF]
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is widely accepted as an effective surgical method to treat trigeminal neuralgia (TN), but the risks of morbidity and mortality must be considered. We experienced a case of acute angle-closure glaucoma attack following MVD for TN in an elderly patient, considered to be caused by lateral positioning during and after the

Characteristics and management of the offending veins in microvascular decompression surgery for trigeminal neuralgia. [PDF]
AbstractThe optimal technique of microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) caused by venous conflict remains unclear. The objectives of this study are to characterize the offending veins identified during MVD for TN and to evaluate intraoperative technique applied for their management.

Results of Microvascular Decompression Surgery in the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia
INTRODUCTION: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) develops as a result of the trigger of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve by stimuli. Most cases of TN are usually caused by compression of the trigeminal nerve root, within a few millimeters from its exit from the pons.

Diplopia following microvascular decompression surgeries: illustrative cases [PDF]
BACKGROUND Microvascular decompression is an effective treatment strategy for trigeminal neuralgia. However, there may be inadvertent complications involving adjacent cranial nerves during or months after the operation. This case lesson highlights the potential manifestations, both optical and nonneurologic (monocular) and binocular diplopia, after ...
