Abstract

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is one of the well-established treatment options for trigeminal neuralgia that may include posterior fossa surgery. However, Several complications were noted as being part of posterior fossa surgery and hydrocephalus is very rare to occur, especially the slow-chronic onset type. The pathophysiology is still unclear, but surgeons and patients must be warned about this possible surgical adverse event. Here we report a case of slow-chronic hydrocephalus in a 66-years old male who has a history of MVD procedure due to left trigeminal neuralgia. A shunt procedure was performed, in which after the surgery the patient’s complaints were resolved, and discharged without any morbidity.
