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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
