RESUMO

Os autores apresentam estudo de 35 casos de microcirurgia de descompressão neuro-vascular na neuralgia do trigêmeo. A ausência de mortalidade e a morbidade muito baixa permitem a indicação deste procedimento, realizado atualmente como uma cirurgia de rotina. A escolha do tratamento e as vantagens de cada método são discutidas.

Palavras-chave: neuralgia do trigêmeo, descompressão neuro-vascular, microcirurgia, dor facial.

SUMMARY

The authors report the study of 35 cases of microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. No mortality and a very low morbidity were associated with this procedure. The choice of the treatment and the advantages of each method are discussed.

Key words: trigeminal neuralgia, vascular decompression, microsurgery, facial pain.
