Risultati chirurgici a lungo termine della decompressione microvascolare nell’emispasmo facciale: efficacia, morbilità e qualità di vita

Abstract: L’emispasmo facciale è una condizione clinica che può seriamente compromettere la qualità di vita del paziente. In questi casi la decompressione microvascolare rappresenta il trattamento neurochirurgico di scelta. L’obiettivo del presente lavoro è stato quello di descrivere sia l’efficacia che la morbilità della decompressione microvascolare nel trattamento dell’emispasmo facciale, di valutare l’outcome della procedura in termini di qualità di vita e di individuare eventuale fattori prognostici predittivi dell… Show more

“…In our investigation, all patients presented symptoms of HFS associated with at least evidence of neuro-vascular conflict with the corresponding facial nerve. Female patients are usually more affected with a sex ration of 0.6 (male/female) and left side is the most involved (10,(27)(28)(29). HFS is more common in the elderly and is extremely rare in the adolescent (27)(28)(29).…”

“…According to Cheng et al (36), patients with severe HFS symptoms or a higher educational level were at higher risk of worse quality of life. MVD for HFS significantly improves quality of life and ameliorate physical and mental health aspects of patients (28,36,37). In our investigation, we observed during follow up progressive raise of patient's quality of life for 36 months.…”

“…Microvascular decompression (MVD) is recognized as the gold standard treatment for cranial nerve diseases such as primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN), primary hemifacial spasm (pHFS) and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GN) ( Montava et al, 2016 ; Patel and Liu, 2016 ; Apra et al, 2017 ; Min et al, 2019 ). After its proposal by Professor Gardner in the US, MVD spread to Japan and European countries and was considered one of the breakthrough technologies in modern treatment of neurological disorders ( Møller, 1998 ).…”
