Transposition of posterior inferior cerebellar artery could have caused ischemic complication in microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm
Ischemic complications are generally rare complications in microvascular decompression surgery for hemifacial spasm. We report a case of posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) infarction post-microvascular decompression. A 68-year old woman with a 2-year history of right hemifacial spasm underw...
