  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is an established procedure to treat hemifacial spasm and trigeminal neural-gia. However, this cannot be clone in some cases in which ecstatic vertebrobasilar arteries are involved. In these in-stances, alternative techniques must be used. We encountered a patient with hemifacial spasm caused by a calcified, enlarged, and tortuous vertebral artery. To obtain safe and certain neurovascular decompression of the facial nerve, the tortuous and calcified vertebral artery was surgically repositioned by placing layers of Teflon felt at two regions between the brain stem and the artery.
