Delayed Cranial Nerve Palsy after Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm
OBJECTIVE Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a safe and effective treatment with favorable outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of delayed cranirve ( VI, VII, and VIII ) palsy following MVD and its clinical courses. METHODS Between January 1998 and December 2009, 1354 patients underwent MVD for HFS at our institution. Of them, 100 pati...
متن کاملGuillain-Barré syndrome after microvascular decompression for the treatment of cranial nerve diseases: a case report
A case of the Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) occurring after microvascular decompression for the treatment of cranial nerve diseases is presented. Although the Guillain-Barré syndrome has been reported after surgical procedures, our case is the first case that can be documented after microvascular decompression surgery in the literature. The exact pathophysiological reasons of the syndrome are s...
متن کاملLower cranial nerve palsy after the infrafloccular approach in microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm
BACKGROUND The infrafloccular approach was introduced as a variation in microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm. However, the rate of postoperative lower cranial nerve (CN) palsy can be high. This study investigated the surgical factors in relation to the occurrence of postoperative lower CN palsy. METHODS The case records of 103 patients who underwent MVD were reviewed. Dissec...
متن کاملPICA origin aneurysm diagnosed 27 years after microvascular decompression of cranial nerve VII.
The authors report a case of a posterior inferior cerebellar artery origin aneurysm causing brainstem compression and swallowing difficulty. The patient had an ipsilateral microvascular decompression of cranial nerve VII for hemifacial spasm 27 years prior to the discovery of the aneurysm. The aneurysm was successfully treated endovascularly. A discussion of possible etiologies of the aneurysm'...
متن کاملTHE PIVOTAL ROLE OF CRANIAL NERVER DECOMPRESSION
Reported are a total of 81 microsurgical operations for cranial nerve root decompression comprising of 66 trigeminal, 10 facial, one vestibular, one vagus and three accessory nerve dysfunction syndromes from 1983 to 1990. Almost all cases of trigeminal neuralgia (TNG) secondary to vascular (59 cases) and minute mass (10 cases) compression, and those with hemifacial spasm (HFS) (nine out o...
