Microvascular Decompression (MVD)

Microvascular decompression (MVD) may be considered by the team when facial hemispasm is diagnosed, imaging indicates neurovascular contact/compression at the facial nerve exit zone, and symptoms affect daily life or are not adequately controlled by medication and injections. The decision usually considers the course of the disease, previous treatment response, hearing and general condition, anesthesia risk, and individual anatomical characteristics.
