Microvascular decompression: Diversified of imaging uses, advantages of treating trigeminal neuralgia and improvement after the application of endoscopic technology

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Classical trigeminal neuralgia (CTN) is a unilateral and severe facial pain disease, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is currently the most effective surgical method, and it is the only treatment ...

Trigeminal neuralgia recurrence: a comparison of microvascular decompression and percutaneous balloon compression: a five years follow-up study [PDF]

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2021
Background: About 50% of patients that suffer from trigeminal neuralgia do not experience sustained benefit from the use of oral medication. For their adequate management, a few surgical procedures are available.

Transposition of posterior inferior cerebellar artery could have caused ischemic complication in microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2019
Ischemic complications are generally rare complications in microvascular decompression surgery for hemifacial spasm. We report a case of posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) infarction post-microvascular decompression. A 68-year old woman with a 2-

Surgical and Clinical Outcomes of Microvascular Decompression: A Comparative Study between Young and Elderly Patients

Brain Sciences, 2022
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the only etiological technique for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Whilst there is a consensus MVD is likely effective regardless of age, the elderly population is thought to be more prone to have a higher

Spontaneous Iliopsoas Hematoma following Microvascular Free Tissue Transfer. [PDF]

, 2017
Spontaneous hematoma within the iliopsoas muscle (SIH) is a rare complication most commonly seen in coagulopathic patients. Often, patients undergoing microvascular free tissue transfer are anticoagulated for anastomotic patency.

Analysis of wave III of brain stem auditory evoked potential waveforms during microvascular decompression of cranial nerve VII for hemifacial spasm [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION:: Intraoperative monitoring of brain stem auditory evoked potential during microvascular decompression (MVD) prevent hearing loss (HL). Previous studies have shown that changes in wave III (wIII) are an early and sensitive sign of auditory ...
