Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring during Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm. [PDF]
J Korean Neurosurg Soc, 2019 Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is due to the vascular compression of the facial nerve at its root exit zone (REZ). Microvascular decompression (MVD) of the facial nerve near the REZ is an effective treatment for HFS. In MVD for HFS, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (INM) has two purposes.

Trigeminal neuralgia management after microvascular decompression surgery: two case reports. [PDF]
J Dent Anesth Pain Med, 2020 Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) involves chronic neuropathic pain, characterized by attacks of repeating short episodes of unilateral shock-like pain, which are abrupt in onset and termination. Anticonvulsants, such as carbamazepine, are the gold standard first-line drugs for pharmacological treatment.

Optimal method for reliable lateral spread response monitoring during microvascular decompression surgery for hemifacial spasm. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 In this study, we propose an optimal method for monitoring the key electrophysiological sign, the Lateral Spread Response (LSR), during microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery for hemifacial spasm (HFS).

Results of Microvascular Decompression Surgery in the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Kocaeli Medical Journal, 2021 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.

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes in Microscopic and Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm [PDF]
Neurologia Medico-ChirurgicaFully endoscopic microvascular decompression is increasingly being used to treat hemifacial spasm; however, its efficacy must be validated by comparing it with conventional microscopic microvascular decompression.

Diplopia following microvascular decompression surgeries: illustrative cases [PDF]
Journal of Neurosurgery: Case Lessons, 2022 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 ...

5-Hydroxytryptamine and postoperative nausea and vomiting after microvascular decompression surgery
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2023 The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery is high; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels are elevated in patients with PONV. However, the relationship between 5-HT and patients experiencing PONV after MVD surgery is still unknown ...
