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

Evidence of descending inhibition deficits in atypical but not classical trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a rare neuropathic facial pain disorder. Two forms of TN, classical TN (CTN) and atypical TN (ATN), are reported and probably have different aetiologies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional integrity

Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia [PDF]
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic, progressive facial pain disorder characterized by severe paroxysmal episodes in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. The most common cause of (TN) is compression of the trigeminal nerve by a vascular structure
