MICROVASCULAR DECOMPRESSION FOR TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA

摘要

Of 42 patients undergoing a microvascular decompression for trigemiaal neuralgia with a follow-up of 4 to 7 years,32(76.19%)had no postoperative recurrence of neuralgic pain,4(9.52%)had a minor recurrence and 6 (14.29%) had a major recurrence.It was considered that the neuralgic recurrence might be dae to some possibly missed pathogenis vessel during operation or a new compression of the trigeminal nerve root occuring after operatoin.
