DOI: 10.1007/s00381-021-05432-0
Abstract: Pediatric trigeminal neuralgia has been rarely reported in the literature, which were only 28 cases. Although microvascular decompression (MVD) has been widely accepted as effective therapy for trigeminal neuralgia, the etiology and surgical treatment of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-017-3326-6
Abstract: Inoue and his colleagues retrospectively reviewed their experiencewithMVDandGK treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. They conclude that the long-term (which they defined as beyond 1 year) outcome is better after microsurgery than after radiosurgery. While this opinion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-020-04405-7
Abstract: Although the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) have been well described throughout the history of medicine, its etiology was initially not well understood by most surgeons. The standard procedure used to treat TN today, microvascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-020-04659-1
Abstract: A repair strategy for venous bleeding from the superior petrosal vein (SPV) is essential during endoscopic microvascular decompression. Sliced oxycellulose seats are rounded off, making balls around 10 mm in diameter. When venous bleeding arises… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-025-06472-0
Abstract: Two surgical microvascular decompression techniques to treat primary hemifacial spasm (HFS) are described in literature. The “interposition” uses different materials as “spacers” while the “transposition” consists in suturing the offending vessel to the petrous bone… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00701-025-06688-0
Abstract: Concurrent ipsilateral trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and hemifacial spasm (HFS) are rare and typically caused by dolichoectatic vertebrobasilar compression. A 59-year-old male with refractory TN and HFS underwent preoperative MRI revealing neurovascular conflict at the root… read more here.
