Abstract:Objective: To investigate the effect of microvascular decompression and gamma knife radiosurgery on idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia in the elderly. Methods: 90 patients of idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia in the elderly who received therapy from November 2013 to November 2015 in our hospital were selected. According to different surgical methods,the patients were divided into the microvascular decompression group (n=45) and the gamma knife group (n=45). The curative effect was compared between the two groups after 3 months, and the patients were followed up for 12 months, and the visual analogue scale (VAS) was recorded before and after the operation, and the complication and pain recurrence rate were record. Results: There was no significant difference in the total remission rate between the two groups after 3 months [88.89%(40/45) vs 82.22% (37/45)](P>0.05); the VAS scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), there was no significant difference in VAS score between the two groups after operation 1 month (P>0.05), but the VAS scores in the microvascular decompression group were significantly lower than those of the gamma knife group at after operation 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative infection, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, facial numbness and hearing impairment between the two groups [17.78%(8/45) vs 15.56% (7/45)] (P>0.05); the pain recurrence rate in the microvascular decompression group was significantly lower than those of the gamma knife group at 12 months follow-up [11.11%(5/45) vs 28.89%(13/45)], the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Microvascular decompression surgery and gamma knife radiotherapy can relieve senile idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia, but the microvascular decompression remission rate and recurrence rate were better than that of gamma knife radiation in long-term pain, it's more conducive to the treatment of elderly patients with good foundation, But for the basis of poor or can not tolerate surgery, gamma knife radiosurgery also can be used as a good palliative treatment.
