title: A simple technique for neurovascular decompression of the cranial nerves.
abstract: Various synthetic materials and plastic adhesives are used for neurovascular decompression, but they may have some adverse effects on nervous tissue. We used fibrin glue alone for neurovascular decompression and obtained excellent results without complications or recurrence, compared with the previous technique with a prosthesis or plastic adhesive.
