ABSTRACT
Ninety nine patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN,n =59) or hemifacial spasm (HFS,n =40) underwent microvascular decompression (MVD) treatment in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2015,and were followed up for more than 1 year.Total 94 patients (94.9%) were cured after the surgery,including 55 TN cases (93.2%) and 39 HFS cases (97.5%).The 1-year follow up showed that total 98 patients (99.0%) were cured,including 58 TN cases (98.3%) and 40 HFS cases (100.0%).Among the HFS cases,1 patient got gentle spasm,1 patient got hearing deficit,1 patient got light facial palsy after the operation,and all recovered completely during the follow-up.Among the TN cases,4 patients got pain attack infrequently after the operation,3 of them recovered during the follow-up,and the symptoms were satisfactorily controlled by taking carbamazepine in rest 1 case.No cases had cerebrospinal fluid leakage or intracerebral infection.The results indicate that MVD is an effective treatment of HFS and TN with less surgical injury or complications.
