Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a sudden, severe, brief, stabbing, and recurrent pain within one
or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. Type 1 as intermittent and Type 2 as constant pain …

Object Fully endoscopicmicrovascular decompression (E-MVD) of the trigeminal nerve was
initially described more than 1 decade ago, but has not yet gained wide acceptance. The …

OBJECTIVE To discuss the results of endoscope-assisted surgery in microvascular
decompression (MVD) of Cranial Nerves (CNs) V, VII, and VIII. METHODS Neuroendoscopy …

OBJECTIVE: Microvascular decompression may fail to relieve trigeminal neuralgia because
a compressing vessel at the root entry zone may be overlooked during surgery. Alternatively …

Background Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the surgical intervention designed to
resolve neurovascular conflicts (NCs) in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). Today …

BACKGROUND: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is thought
to be caused by demyelinating plaques within the nerve root entry zone, the trigeminal …

OBJECTIVE Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by involuntary tonic and/or clonic
contractions of facial nerve muscles. Fully endoscopic microvascular decompression (E …

Background Although most surgeons are using endoscopy as an adjunct to microscopy in
microvascular decompression, a full endoscopic technique is less commonly performed. The …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic
microvascular decompression (E-MVD) and microscopic microvascular decompression (M …

BACKGROUND: We performed endoscope-assisted MVD or fully endoscopic MVD for
minimizing the risks of brain retraction and extensive dissection and got good results. In …
