Microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm involving the vertebral artery: A modified effective technique using a gelatin sponge with a FuAiLe medical adhesive

CNS Neurosci Ther. 2021 May 28. doi: 10.1111/cns.13662. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicrovascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm Involving the Vertebral Artery (VA): A Modified Effective Technique Using a Gelatin Sponge with a FuAiLe Medical Adhesive. (a)The VA pushes the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) which compressed the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial nerve. (b) The VA was adhered to the petrous dura, and the AICA was decompressed from the REZ by a Teflon pad.PMID:34050606 | DOI:10.1111/cns.13662
