Abstract：Objective To explore the factors related to the complication after the percutaneous microballoon compression in the patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN). Methods The clinical data of 428 patients with PTN undergoing percutaneous microballoon compression from December, 2011 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The factors related to the postoperative complications were statistically analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results Of 428 patients with PTN, 383 had postoperative complication and 45 did not. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of disease ≥5 years, pain involving the second branch of trigeminal nerve and associated hypertension and diabetes mellitus were the independent risk factors of the complications after the percutaneous microballoon compression in the patients with PNT (P<0.05). Conclusions The course of disease, pain involving the second branch of trigeminal nerve, hypertension and diabetes mellitus are the factors related to complications occurrence after the percutaneous microballoon compression in the patients with PTN. It is suggested that the blood pressure and blood sugar levels should be controlled during perioperative period and balloon parameters should be adjusted in order to improve the prognoses in the patients with PTN.
