Abstract [en]

OBJECTIVE: Balloon compression of the rootlets behind the trigeminal ganglion for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia has become an increasingly popular method among neurosurgeons. However, the method has recognized complications, including double vision. Although occurring infrequently, diplopia may cause the patient significant disability. To minimize the risk for this complication, we analyzed our patients with respect to the surgical technique. METHODS: We reviewed our joint consecutive series of 193 patients with trigeminal neuralgia treated with balloon compression. The medical records and the intraoperative x-ray images were analyzed. RESULTS: We identified six patients with double vision postoperatively. In analyzing these occurrences, we found that the balloon was inflated outside Meckel's cave in four patients, the balloon was initially inflated too deeply in one patient, and the anatomy of Meckel's cave was probably aberrant in one patient. In five of the six patients, the symptoms resolved within 5 months. CONCLUSION: By meticulous surgical technique with close attention to the anatomic position and the shape of the inflated balloon, most cases of postcompression diplopia should be avoided.
