Abstract:
Objective To summarize and analyze the efficacy of microvascular decompression (MVD) for cerebral neurovascular compression syndrome and its postoperative complications. Methods MVD was performed in 39 patients with cerebral neurovascular compression syndrome, including 19 with trigeminal neuralgia, 18 with facial spasm and 2 with glossopharyngeal neuralgia. The surgical techniques and prevention of postoperative complications were analyzed. Results The immediate relief of pain was succeed in 17 with trigeminal neuralgia and 2 with glossopharyngeal neuralgia and the spasm was eliminated in 16 with facial spasm right after the operation. No hematoma, infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage or death appeared and the total effectiveness rate was 94.87%. Follow-up was performed in 34 with an average of 1.58 years and 32 were recorded with good results. Conclusion MVD for cerebral neurovascular compression syndrome is safe, minimally invasive and effective. It is by far the first choice in the treatment of cerebral neurovascular compression syndrome.
