Anterior transpetrosal approach for microvascular decompression associated with the dolichoectatic vertebrobasilar artery in two patients with refractory trigeminal neuralgia: Technical note.
Abstract
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) due to compression from the dolichoectatic vertebrobasilar artery (DVBA) is extremely rare and difficult to treat due to its morphological characteristics. We report two cases of good transposition of DVBA and postoperative course obtained using the anterior petrosal approach and a new vasoculopexy method.
