OBJECTIVE: Residual lateral spread response (LSR) after seemingly adequate decompression for hemifacial spasms (HFSs) can provide prognostic information about the outcome of microvascular decompression (MVD). In the present study, the main objective was to evaluate the clinical and prognostic impact of residual LSR after adequate MVD for HFS.
METHODS: An observational study was conducted in patients who underwent MVD for HFS at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center between January 2000 and December 2007. Clinical and neurophysiological outcomes after pre- and post-MVD, including spasm relief, amplitude and latency of LSR, and postoperative complications were collected from groups with and without residual LSR after adequate decompression. Data analysis was performed to see the impact of residual LSR on HFS outcomes.
RESULTS: There was no significant difference in preoperative clinical characteristics as well as postoperative complications between the two groups. The patient had significantly higher spasm relief in immediate postoperative period (p = 0.01) and at discharge (p = 0.002) when LSR disappeared during the procedure. There is no difference in spasm relief at follow-up period between the two groups (p = 0.69).
CONCLUSION: Lateral spread is an invaluable tool in MVD for HFSs. Adequate decompression in patients with residual LSR improved long-term spasm relief. Constant communication between neurophysiologists and the surgeon might be vital to achieve adequate decompression. The amplitude of residual LSR after adequate decompression does not significantly affect the long-term spasm relief.
