[Microvascular decompression in neurovascular conflict with the facial nerve and the lower cranial nerves].

With this review, we aim to provide information about microvascular decompression in various forms of neurovascular conflicts between blood vessels and cranial nerves 7, 9, and 10 in the posterior fossa. Specifically, we will address the treatment of hemifacial spasms, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and, in rare cases, vagus nerve involvement. We intend to disseminate this information widely to doctors in Denmark, as it is our impression that the diseases mentioned in the article are not well known to all doctors who encounter these patients, and the same applies to the treatment options.
