The effect of microvascular decompression of the CN IX-X root entry/exit zone and the ventrolateral medulla in neurogenic hypertension involving the vertebral/basilar artery.

Introduction: Neurogenic hypertension (HTN) is a type of HTN characterized by increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Vascular compression is one of the pathogenic mechanisms of neurogenic HTN. Despite Jannetta's solid anatomical and physiological arguments in favor of neurogenic HTN in the 1970's, the treatment for essential HTN by microvascular decompression (MVD) still lacks established selection criteria.

Trigeminal neuralgia associated with dural arteriovenous fistula: a case report and literature reviews.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a paroxysmal, intense electric shock-like, or knife-like, recurrent pain that affects one or more sense areas of the unilateral facial trigeminal nerve. It can be classified into two groups from an etiological standpoint: primary and secondary. The pain episodes brought on by such vascular compression are still categorized as primary trigeminal neuralgia, despite the fact that microvascular compression of the trigeminal nerve root has now been demonstrated to be the primary cause.

A comprehensive two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis of trigeminal neuralgia and modifiable risk factors.

Objective: To conduct a comprehensive search and causality study of potential modifiable risk factors for trigeminal neuralgia. To provide new ideas for subsequent treatment and management of patients with trigeminal neuralgia.

Methods: Data were obtained from large GWAS databases and then analyzed by Mendelian randomization analysis.
