Clinical analysis of hemifacial XXXX @entity1 with delay symptom relief after microvascular decompression of distinct offending vessels.

@entity1 @entity245 @entity2850 @entity2473 @entity1649
UNASSIGNED: This study investigates symptom relief in @entity1 whose @entity1649 ( @entity1649 ) were completely relieved following microvascular decompression (MVD). @entity1 with @entity1649 who were operated on from January 2007 to May 2011, at our department, were studied. The medical records and operation videos of each @entity1 were reviewed. Follow-up was performed via telephone communication. A total of 410 @entity1 with @entity1649 were divided into two groups: Group A (277 cases): @entity1649 caused by @entity2850 , and Group B (133 cases): @entity1649 caused by vertebral artery compression. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on all the @entity1 to rule out those with secondary @entity1649 . @entity1 who had undergone previous MVD were also excluded at that time. In all, 462 @entity1 underwent MVD for @entity1649 in our center during the study period. Follow-up was available for 410 @entity1 . In the @entity2850 cohort, 72 (72/277, 26.0  %) @entity1649 @entity1 achieved relief with @entity245 . While in the vertebral artery compression cohort, 52 (52/133, 39.1  %) @entity1649 @entity1 experienced relief with @entity245 . There was significant difference between these two cohorts (P  <  0.05). 93.75% of @entity245 @entity1 were cured and experienced @entity2473 relief within 6  months. Surgeons should be aware that delayed symptom relief after MVD for @entity1649 is more common than has been reported, and time course of symptom relief is various as well as unpredictable; however, most @entity1649 @entity1 are cured, and experience @entity2473 relief within 6  months.
