Minimizing Technical Failure of Percutaneous Balloon Compression for Trigeminal Neuralgia Using Neuronavigation
UNLABELLED Objective. Percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) is an effective and safe management for medically refractory trigeminal neuralgia; however, technical failure to cannulate the foramen ovale (FO) using only fluoroscopy is a significant problem in some cases. In this paper, we suggest the use of intraoperative navigation, in cases of reoperation due to prior technical failure to cannu...
متن کاملPercutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia.
Percutaneous balloon compression is a simple and effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. It is especially useful in patients with first-division pain because it does not injure the myelinated fibers that mediate the blink reflex. It is most helpful in patients with pain that has spread across multiple divisions because it does not require multiple lesions. It is also helpful in patients w...
متن کاملPercutaneous Balloon Compression vs Percutaneous Retrogasserian Glycerol Rhizotomy for the Primary Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia
BACKGROUND Despite >30 years of clinical use, the literature is still sparse when it comes to comparisons between percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) and percutaneous retrogasserian glycerol rhizolysis (PRGR) as treatments for trigeminal neuralgia. OBJECTIVE To perform a retrospective cohort comparison between PBC and PRGR with regard to therapeutic effect, side effects, and complications....
متن کاملPercutaneous Balloon Compression of Gasserian Ganglion for the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia: an Experience from India.
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by unilateral, lancinating, paroxysmal pain in the dermatomal distribution area of trigeminal nerve. Percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) of Gasserian ganglion is an effective, comparatively cheaper and simple therapeutic modality for treatment of TN. Compression secondary to PBC selectively injures the large myelinated A-alfa (afferent) fibers that ...
متن کاملLong-term outcome of percutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia patients elder than 80 years
This article evaluates the long-term outcome of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients elder than 80 years. A total of 138 elderly patients aged above 80 years with primary TN, who were admitted to Neurosurgery Department, Hangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2007 to December 2011 for PBC treatment, were retrospectively analyzed in this study. The...
