Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Prospective, Multicenter Study.
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the most effective procedure for the long-term management of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN). However, retrospective and single-center studies are inherently biased, and there are currently no prospective, multicenter studies. ⋯ In the hands of experienced neurosurgeons, MVD for TGN can achieve high long-term curative effects. In addition, complications are uncommon and usually transient. Our results indicate that MVD is an effective and safe treatment for patients with TGN, including elderly patients.

The relationship between trans-stenotic blood flow velocity differences and the cerebral venous pressure gradient (CVPG) in transverse sinus (TS) stenosis (TSS) has not been studied. ⋯ The trans-stenotic blood flow velocity difference significantly correlates with the CVPG in TSS. As a noninvasive imaging modality, 4D flow MRI may be a suitable screening or complimentary tool to decide which TSS may benefit from invasive venous manometry.
