- Abstract:
The authors evaluated the follow-up results of microvascular decompression (sec. Janetta) in 8 patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS). Indication was based on there dimensional time of flight magnetic resonance angiography with 0.5T Elscint Gyrex V Dix equipment. Contrast material was administered in every case and maximum intensity projection and thin slice reconstruction were performed in three standard directions. Vascular contact with the facial nerve in the entry zone was identified on the symptomatic side in 10 patients. No contact was detected in 2 cases. Microvascular decompression was performed in 8 cases. The surgical and neuroradiological findings were identical in every cases. Five patients were completely free of HFS immediately after surgery, and another 2 patients became free of HFS during the next few weeks. Only 1 patient had uncured symptoms. In conclusion, the authors suggest that microvascular decompression of the facial nerve may evolve as the method of choice if vascular contact is proved by 3D TOF MRA.
