Optimizing microvascular decompression for trigeminal Neuralgia: Addressing vertebrobasilar ectasia challenges – A technical note

Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) can be due vertebrobasilar ectasia (VBE), where elongated, tortuous arteries compress the trigeminal nerve, making surgical management challenging. Research question: Does a refined microvascular decompression (MVD) technique using a “Teflon cloud” interpositi...
