Microvascular decompression for patients with primary hemifacial spasm associated with primary trigeminal neuralgia

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of microvascular decompression (MVD) for the patients with primary hemifacial spasm (pHFS) associated with primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN). Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with pHFS associated with PTN who underwent MVD from 2015 to 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Results During the operation, the vertebral arteries were found to be closely related to the symptoms of 10 patients. The follow up of these 11 patients ranged from 2 years to 4 years. Facial twitching symptoms were cured immediately after the surgery in 9 patients, and cured during the follow up in 2. Facial pain symptoms were cured immediately after the surgery in 10 patients, and was significantly relieved in 1. Cranial nerve injury occurred in 1 patient and hearing loss occurred in 1 patient after the operation. There were no complications such as facial paralysis, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and intracranial hemorrhage. Conclusions The responsible blood vessels of patients with pHFS associated with PTN are often complicated and closely related to the vertebral artery compression. MVD treatment for the patients is safe and effective.
