Their ages ranged from 29 to 75 years with a median age of 54 years, and the left side was involved predominantly. The common focal signs were facial nerve palsy in 41 cases, diminished hearing in 14 cases, trigeminal neuralgia in 11 cases, and homolateral trigeminal...
متن کاملMicrovascular Decompression of the Optic Nerve for Paroxysmal Phosphenes and Visual Field Deficit.
BACKGROUND Microvascular decompression surgery is standard neurosurgical practice for treating trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. Most other cranial nerves have been decompressed for paroxysmal intermittent hyperactivity of the affected cranial nerve or in very long-standing compressions to treat cranial nerve hypofunctioning. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a case of intermittent paroxy...

Reported are a total of 81 microsurgical operations for cranial nerve root decompression comprising of 66 trigeminal, 10 facial, one vestibular, one vagus and three accessory nerve dysfunction syndromes from 1983 to 1990. Almost all cases of trigeminal neuralgia (TNG) secondary to vascular (59 cases) and minute mass (10 cases) compression, and those with hemifacial spasm (HFS) (nine out o...

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia is a common disorder with well established diagnostic characteristics. Remission of symptoms with carbamazepine seems diagnostic, however, cases who failed to respond might advise surgery. In the present study, we investigate postoperative complications and outcomes in a group of Iranian patients referring with trigeminal neuralgia during a 10-year period. Mat...

A 4-year-old boy presented with a 1-week history of left eye proptosis. Examination showed multiple café-au-lait spots and impaired left eye vision. MRI revealed left optic nerve glioma with perineural arachnoid gliomatosis (PAG) (figure, A–C). The growth patterns of optic nerve gliomas are classified into intraneural and perineural forms. The intraneural form is characterized by fusiform enlar...
