Abstract：Objective To explore the impact of different types of responsible vessels and patterns of compression on the curative effect of surgery on primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN). Methods The microvascular decompression was performed in 212 patients with PTN, of whom, 155 had PTN induced by arterial compression (artery group), 24 by venous compression (vein group) and 33 by artery and vein compression (mixed group). Of theses 212 patients with PNT, 123 had contact compression and 89 had adhesion and package compression according to the patterns of compression to the trigeminal nerves. Results The total effective rate was 95.8%. The effective rate of artery group, vein group and mixed group were 98.1% (152/155), 95.8% (23/24) and 84.8% (28/33), respectively. And the effective rate of contact compression group and adhesion and package compression group were 98.4% (121/123) and 92.1% (82/89), respectively. Conclusions Microvascular decompression is an effective method to treat PTN. The mixed vessel compression and adhesion and package compression may be factors affecting the outcomes of surgery in the patients with PNT.
