Trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm and glossopharyngsal neuralgia account for the majority of cranial nerve hyperexcitability disorders. As
vascular compression of the cranial nerve root has been believed to be the etiology, microvascular decompression (MVD) has nowadays become
the most effective remedy for these disorders.
