OBJECTIVE: To investigate potential effect of sacrifice of the superior petrosal vein (SPV) on postoperative complications after microvascular decompression (MVD). METHODS: Retrospective review of 98 consecutive patients undergoing MVD of cranial nerve V was performed. Frequency of division of the SPV during surgery was recorded, and postoperative complications and imaging were recorded and analyzed. In patients with complications, the specific anatomic variation of the superior petrosal venous complex was noted. RESULTS: Of 98 patients undergoing MVD, 83 (84.7%) had sacrifice of the SPV at the time of surgery, 12 (12.2%) had the SPV preserved, and 3 (3.1%) were revision operations. Four patients (4.8%) had complications deemed to be attributable to venous insufficiency or congestion. These included sigmoid sinus thrombosis with coincident cerebellar hemorrhage, midbrain and pontine infarction, hemiparesis with midbrain and pontine edema, and facial paresis with ischemia in the middle cerebellar peduncle. None of the patients with preserved SPV were symptomatic or had imaging changes consistent with venous congestion. CONCLUSIONS: Sacrifice of the SPV is often performed during MVD. This is associated with a complication rate that is significant in frequency and severity compared with preserving the vein. SPV sacrifice should be limited to cases where it is deemed absolutely necessary for successful cranial nerve decompression.
