Neurovascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia in 17-year-old Girl

Neurovascular Decompression for Trigeminal in Elderly Patients Neuralgia

The operative findings and outcomes of neurovascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia were compared between patients aged 75 years and older (elderly group, 17 patients) and patients aged under 75 years (nonelderly group, 115 patients). There were no statistically significant differences in the operative findings or outcomes between the two groups, except in the percentage of patients who...

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...

Microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia.

Eleven patients with intractable trigeminal neuralgia were treated by posterior fossa microvascular decompression. Complete pain relief was achieved in 7 patients (63.3%). Partial relief of symptoms was noted in 3 patients (27%). There was no operative mortality. Two patients developed transient lower cranial nerve palsies whereas one patient developed a CSF leak, requiring treatment by lumbar ...

Vascular Decompression in Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a sudden, severe, brief, stabbing and recurrent pain within one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. Although multiple mechanism involving peripheral pathologies at root (compression or traction), dysfunctions of brain stem, basal ganglion and cortical pain modulatory mechanisms could have role, neurovascular conflict (NCV) is most accepted theory. Patients wit...
