MVD for Glassopharyngeal Neuralgia?

I understand that MVD is a treatment surgery for TN but is it also for GN? Anyone???

Hi Stacy,

As I understand it, MVD is also an option for GN - this will be a question for you to pose to a Neurosurgeon however, as often the availability of surgeons that do MVD for GN vary depending on where you live. I’m unable to offer names or places to look into myself - but sometimes you can get a good reccomendation from the TN association nearest to where you live.

If I hear of anything though - I’ll get the information to you as soon as I can find it. May I ask what area you live in? I’m in Australia presently, but I do have some contacts internationally.

Best of luck with the search Stacy.

Cheers ~ Kerry xx
