Abstract
- Recently microvascular decompressive approach to the hyperactive type of low cranial nerves dysfunction has been popular procedures in neurosurgical operation. The neurosurgical teams at St. Paul's Hospital, Catholic Medical College operated on 11 patients employing this technique for 2 years. The patients were diagnosed as 9 patients with hemifacial spasm, one with trigeminal neuralgia, and one with glossopharyngeal neuralgia. The results were very encouraging of the 10 patients. But remaining one patient was failed with therapy. The authors would like to share with you their experiences employing the microvascular surgical technique, the results & the prognosis.
