Use of indocyanine green angiography during endoscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography during full endoscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. Methods: We extracted retrospective data of patients who received ICG videoangiography during full endoscopic microvascular...

description Background: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography during full endoscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. Methods: We extracted retrospective data of patients who received ICG videoangiography during full endoscopic microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. Preoperative neurovascular contact was evaluated by three-dimensional (3D) fusion images using image analysis software Ziostation2 (ZIOSOFT, Tokyo, Japan) and Intraoperative ICG angiography was used in pre and post ICG injection to identify and assess blood flow in the offending vessel for adequate transposition planification and assess for immediate post transposition blood flow or vasospasm respectively. Patients were assessed the next morning for early signs of brainstem infarction and at one month follow up. Results: There were 44 patients. All patients had ICG videoangiography done during the procedure. The mean age was 65.5 and male female ratio 3.4:1. Some anatomical variants were identified during this procedure. Five patients (11.3%) had a trigeminocerebellar artery, three patients (6.8%) had a developed superior petrosal vein and one patient (2.2%) had dural adhesions with encasement of anterior inferior cerebellar artery. Among the 44 patients enrolled, 34 had transposition done and 10 had combined transposition either with neurolysis or Teflon interposition. The main offending vessel was Superior cerebellar artery (SCA) in 23 patients (67.6%). In 5 (14.7%) of 34 patients who underwent Transposition, vasospasm was seen and no complications were observed in all patients but 93.1% had good pain control in postoperative. Conclusion: ICG angiography in endoscopic microvascular decompression is safe and effective in depicting the offending vessel, its branches and some perforators and contributes significantly to the determination of treatment strategy.
