Abstract：Objective The correlation between the location of the neurovascular compression and the short-term MVD outcome of trigeminal neuralgia was discussed.Methods A total of 50 cases of the primary classic trigeminal neuralgia were reviewed retrospectively,and the location of neurovascular compression and the short-term MVD outcome were analyzed.Results All of 40 cases with dorsal neurovascular compression were relieved after operation.Among 6 cases of ventral neurovascular compression,only 1 case experienced early post-operative pain relief.Conclusion The location of the neurovascular compression (dorsal or ventral) significantly affects the short-term surgical outcome.
