Abstract
- Trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm are thought to be caused by cross-compression of a cranial nerve by a vascular structure. Microvascular decompression (MVD), a surgical treatment of these conditions, has a high success rate and low recurrence rate. In our hospital, we have a case of 64 year-old, male patient, who has shown postoperative events, such as delayed emergence, postoperative convulsion, left facial palsy, and dizziness after MVD surgery for left hemifacial spasm. We're going to report this case and consider about possible causes.
