Overview

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is nowadays a method of choice in diseases caused by neurovascular conflict. The goal of this article is to compare effectiveness and morbidity/mortality rate of MVD in trigeminal neuralgia group and the group of other neurovascular conflict related diseases. In all cases was neurovascular conflict visualised preoperatively on MRI scans. The results of MVD in medically intractable trigeminal neuralgia has shown high effectiveness and minimal morbidity. Other vascular compression related syndromes are also well responding to MVD procedure but with higher complication rate. There was no fatal case in both groups.

Key words:
microvascular decompression, neurovascular conflict, surgically treatment.
