Predictors of outcome in surgically managed patients with typical and atypical trigeminal neuralgia: comparison of results following microvascular decompression (original) (raw)

2002, Journal of Neurosurgery

AI-generated Abstract

This study evaluates the outcomes of microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery for patients with typical and atypical trigeminal neuralgia (TN) based on 2675 procedures performed before 1996. The investigation identifies patient characteristics that predict surgical outcomes and assesses complication rates across these two distinct forms of TN. The findings suggest significant differences in outcomes and complications between typical and atypical TN, with implications for therapeutic strategies and patient management.
