Microvascular triple decompression for combined simultaneous trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and pulsatile tinnitus due to separate offending vessels

چکیده

Neurovascular compression syndrome is generally caused by vascular at the root entry or exit zone of corresponding cranial nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia most frequent syndrome, followed hemifacial spasm. Despite ongoing debate in literature, pulsatile tinnitus also known to be a neurovascular resulting from vestibulocochlear Combined manifestations symptoms are very rare. We report case with simultaneous manifestation trigeminal neuralgia, spasm, and as separate offending vessels. A 53-year-old female presented lancinating pain left face, ipsilateral for 2 years. spasm were diagnosed after neurological examination, imaging study, electromyography. Microvascular decompression via retrosigmoid approach offenders, including superior cerebellar artery, anterior inferior posterior artery was performed using Teflon sponges. The patient’s tinnitus, improved immediately microvascular decompression.

Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia.

BACKGROUND Trigeminal Neuralgia (TGN) is the most frequently diagnosed type of facial pain. In idiopathic type of TGN it is caused by the neuro-vascular conflict involving trigeminal nerve. Microvascular decompression (MVD) aims at addressing this basic pathology in the idiopathic type of TGN. This study was conducted to determine the outcome and complications of patients with idiopathic TGN un...

Radiographic findings in 68 patients with trigeminal neuralgia and 24 patients with hemifacial spasm are reviewed. The relative value of various radiographic diagnostic procedures is discussed. Trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm are usually caused by vascular compression of the trigeminal root entry zone and facial nerve exit zone respectively. Computed tomography (CT) of the posterior f...
