Microvascular decompression for tinnitus: significant improvement for tinnitus intensity without improvement for distress. A 4-year limit.
OBJECTIVE Microvascular compressions of the cochlear nerve can lead to tinnitus. The tinnitus initially is related to nonsynchronous signal transmission in the auditory nerve, neurophysiologically characterized by a peak II amplitude decrease. Chronic compression can lead to a focal demyelination, resulting in an increase in Iinterpeak latency I-III with tinnitus and frequency-specific hearing ...
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...
متن کاملRepeat microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm.
OBJECTIVE To report our experience with repeat microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) in patients who have failed their first operation. METHODS The authors describe 41 redo MVDs for HFS in 36 patients performed over a 3 year period. Seven patients underwent early re-operation after an aborted seventh nerve decompression. Eight patients underwent early re-operation for c...
متن کاملMicrovascular Decompression for Refractory Trigeminal Neuralgia
Background Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a common microvascular compression syndrome of cranial nerves. Medical treatment is regarded as the first line treatment; however, a group of patients do not respond to medical treatment satisfactorily and develop persistent and refractory symptom(s). Surgical microvascular decompression (MVD) is usually then advised. We reviewed the surgical MVD outcome ...
