The treatment of trigeminal neuralgia by posterior fossa microsurgery.
Between 1972 and 1981 57 patients underwent posterior fossa exploration in Oxford by a single surgeon for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Fifty-four of these had either partial or total section of the trigeminal sensory root, 2 had microvascular decompression operations and one had both a partial sensory root section and microvascular decompression. There was no mortality and no signific...
متن کاملTreatment of trigeminal neuralgia by posterior fossa microvascular decompression.
A series of 109 cases of microvascular decompression for intractable trigeminal neuralgia was reviewed. Operations were performed by a single surgeon and cases were reviewed independently by the one author. The failure rate in this study was 17.6%. A further 6.5% of cases endured brief recurrences not requiring treatment. Two-thirds of significant recurrences occurred within the initial 12 mont...
متن کاملPseudomeningocele after Surgical Fenestration of A Posterior Fossa Arachnoid Cyst
We report a 7-year-old boy with a history of headaches, staring spells and speech delay. His neurological examination showed difficulties with tandem gait but no other cerebellar signs. Head CT showed an incidental mass suggestive of large arachnoid cyst of the posterior fossa. Brain MRI showed a cystic lesion at the inferomedial aspect of the left cerebellar hemisphere that follows CSF on all ...
متن کاملSubdural hematoma complicating middle fossa arachnoid cyst.
We report a case of a middle aged patient with middle fossa arachnoid cyst that was complicated by subdural hematoma. This was demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging that remain the most useful diagnostic tool, and providing excellent tissue specificity. Patient was treated by irrigating the hematoma through burrholes. Magnetic resonance imaging in the postoperative period showed a reductio...

© 2015 Egyp an Journal of Neurosurgery. All rights reserved Background: Posterior fossa arachnoid cysts cons tute 10-11% of all intracranial arachnoid cysts and are considered to be the second most common after middle fossa arachnoid cysts. Their diagnosis, indications of surgical intervention and mode of surgical management are still points of debate. Objective: We report our experience in the...
