  • Title: Microvascular decompression of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery for intermediate nerve neuralgia.
    Author: Younes WM, Capelle HH, Krauss JK.
    Journal: Stereotact Funct Neurosurg; 2010; 88(3):193-5. PubMed ID: 20431332.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the case of a 63-year-old woman with a 5-year history of intractable paroxysmal 'atypical' otofacial pain. The patient's pain attacks were not typical for either trigeminal or vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia. Surgical exploration via a suboccipital retromastoid craniotomy showed vascular compression of the nervus intermedius by the anterior inferior cerebellar artery and the patient's pain was successfully managed with microvascular decompression.
