Abstract OBJECTIVE To establish the long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of microvascular decompression (MVD) for the treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia, this study presents the immediate (<6 mo) postoperative and long-term results of a large series of 47 patients with treated with MVD. METHODS Operative reports and hospital charts were analyzed to collect demographic information, clinical presentation, and surgical findings. Surgical results and complications were ascertained by direct patient contact or by contact with the patient's family or physician if the patient was dead. Long-term (>10 yr) personal follow-up was available for 29 of 47 patients. RESULTS Forty-six (98%) of 47 patients experienced complete relief of pain immediately after MVD. Long-term follow-up was available for 29 of these 47 patients (range, 125–211 mo; median, 152 mo, or 12.7 yr), and 28 of these 29 patients continued to be pain-free. Permanent neurological deficits (>6 mo) attributed to the surgery were observed in 5 (11%) of 47 patients. Of these patients, 4 of 5 had mild hoarseness or dysphagia or both, and one had a Grade II/VI facial nerve paresis. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that MVD is a safe, effective, and durable surgical procedure for producing prolonged pain relief in patients with medically intractable glossopharyngeal neuralgia.

This clinical report describes a combined lateral-crestal approach to elevate the sinus floor when placing implants on a wide maxillary posterior ridge. The buccally enlarged osteotomy broadens vision of practitioners and facilitates access of instruments in the sinus. Compared to the traditional lateral approach of sinus lift, the proposed technique may offer a more conservative treatment modality. And a clinical study with sufficient subjects and long term follow up is needed to validate the potential and limitations of the proposed technique.
