Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), a severe facial pain condition, is often treated with microvascular decompression (MVD). While MVD is effective for arterial neurovascular compression, its efficacy in cases of venous compression and the intraoperative management of such cases remain areas of debate. This review aimed to analyze the intraoperative management strategies for offending veins during MVD and evaluate the outcomes of these procedures in cases of TN with purely venous compression.

Unlabelled: Early identification of risk groups is essential for effective and target prevention of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in all areas of surgery. For this purpose, the authors has developed and put into practice an algorithm distinguishing the groups of low, moderate and high risk of VTE among neurosurgical patients.
Objective: To assess predictive value of the developed algorithm for elective neurosurgical interventions.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of gasserian ganglion balloon compression in patients with trigeminal neuralgia associated with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Material And Methods: Eight patients (3 men, 5 women), aged from 46 to 66 years (mean age 55 years), with trigeminal neuralgia associated with MS underwent surgery. An average duration of the pain syndrome was 8,4 years.
