Balloon Decompression Of Trigeminal Nerve

Note the slight extension of the balloon into all three foramina of the trigeminal nerve (arrows, right). Once the pear shape of the balloon is confirmed, the balloon can then be inflated to a pressure of approximately 1,000 to 1,200 mm Hg and compression maintained for 60 to 180 seconds.

Balloon compression is a surgical procedure used to treat trigeminal neuralgia, a chronic pain condition that affects the face. Patients with trigeminal neuralgia can experience extreme but sporadic shock-like pain in the cheeks or jaw that makes it difficult to eat and drink. The purpose of this procedure is to compress the trigeminal nerve to

It has been demonstrated that the incidence of trigeminal neuralgia in elderly patients is higher and thus, neurosurgeons often encounter elderly patients with this disorder. However, for those with poor basic condition, the optimal surgical treatment remains controversial. In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous balloon ...

Balloon Decompression – while you are sedated, a needle is inserted into the skull base. A thin, flexible tube (catheter) with a balloon on the end is threaded through the needle. The balloon is inflated with enough pressure to damage the trigeminal nerve and block pain signals. This procedure is not permanent.

Percutaneous balloon compression trigeminal rhizotomy for multiple sclerosis related trigeminal neuralgia Many patients with multiple sclerosis related trigeminal neuralgia have pain that is centrally mediated, reducing the effectiveness of procedures performed on the trigeminal root, trigeminal ganglion, or divisions 1). Balloon compression had the highest ...

trigeminal nerve and is characterized by a par-oxysmal, lancinating, shock-like pain, lasting a few seconds, often triggered by sensory stimuli.1 Pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve because of a structural lesion,demonstrated with brain imaging,is known as secondary TN (STN). According to the

Microvascular decompression is effective in cases where your trigeminal neuralgia is being caused by compression of your trigeminal nerve by a blood vessel. Candidates for microvascular decompression must be in good health. The cause of your trigeminal neuralgia can be determined using a special imaging test known as a FIESTA MRI.

Percutaneous balloon compression is a simple and effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. It is especially useful in patients with first-division pain because it does not injure the myelinated fibers that mediate the blink reflex. It is most helpful in patients with pain that has spread across ...

Background: Common treatments for trigeminal neuralgia include percutaneous techniques, microvascular decompression , and Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Although microvascular decompression is considered the gold standard for treatment, percutaneous techniques remain an effective option for select patients.
