3D-Visualization of Neurovascular Compression at the Ventrolateral Medulla in Patients with Arterial Hypertension

ConclusionThe 3D-visualization of fused image data provides an excellent overview of the relationship between cranial nerves and vessels at the VLM and simplifies the detection of NVC in HTN. It provides a  powerful tool for future clinical and scientific research. Although microvascular decompression (MVD) in treatment resistant HTN is not a standard procedure, it can be discussed in selected patients with intractable severe HTN.
