Résumé
Treatment of choice for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) by neurovascular conflict in case of failure of medical treatment is microvascular decompression (MVD). It is a safe and effective technique in the short and long term. But what about older patients who are considered more fragile anesthetically and surgically? Our Objective is to demonstrate the efficacy and complication rate of microvascular decompression (MVD) for older and younger patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) due to neurovascular conflict.
