... as follows: microvascular decompression (MVD) in 12 patients, percutaneous rhizotomy in 10, and radiosurgery in 7. Of the 29 patients, after final treatments, 9 patients (31%) achieved excellent results and 15 (52%) good results. Failure results were seen in 17% of patients with recurrent TN. Conclusion...

...Bradley C. Lega; Richard L. Harper; Mark D. Dannenbaum; Daniel Yoshor Late recurrences after microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm or trigeminal neuralgia are rare.
