Management of petrosal veins during microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia.
OBJECTIVE Venous compression might be the main cause of incomplete decompression and symptom recurrence after microvascular decompression (MVD) in patients with trigeminal neuralgia. Although it can be killed in most cases, cutting the vein sometimes has the potential risk arising from venous congestion. To maneuver the vein safely, we introduced a temporary occlusion test of the vein. METHOD...
متن کاملSacrificing the superior petrosal vein during microvascular decompression. Is it safe? Learning the hard way. Case report and review of literature
BACKGROUND Venous infarction as a complication of microvascular decompression (MVD) is a recognized but extremely rare occurrence in an otherwise standard neurosurgical procedure. Sacrificing one or more veins is considered safe by majority of experienced surgeons and authors. However, in the recent years, there has been growing debate about the management of venous trigeminal compression and/o...
متن کاملVestibular Neurectomy and Microvascular Decompression
Meniere's disease is typically characterized by the classic symptomatological triad consisting of vertigo associated with nausea and vomiting, fluctuating but progressive hearing loss, and tinnitus. Aural fullness is also a frequent symptom. The main pathophysiological substrate of Meniere's disease is certainly endolymphatic hydrops, the etiology of which is probably multifactorial, but still ...
متن کاملMicrovascular 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 ...
متن کاملMicrovascular 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...
