title: [Ten cases report of vascular compressive syndrome caused by the facial, acoustic nerves].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To search the features and the treatment of vascular compressive syndrome caused by the facial, acoustic nerves.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ten cases of vascular compressive syndrome caused by the facial, acoustic nerves were included in the group,which were treated by microvascular decompression(MVD). Besides, the microanatomic relationship between the nerve and their adjacent vessel at the root exit zone (REZ) were observed under microscope or nasoendoscopy in MVD.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Tinnitus, vertigo and facial spasm disappeared after MVD in 7 cases (70%), improved in 2 cases (20%), and relapse in 1 case (10%). All cases were found out vessels compressing at the root zone of the facial nerve and the auditory nerve.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The Clinical features of vascular compressive syndrome caused by the facial, acoustic nerves are facial spasm, tinnitus, and vertigo, for which microvascular decompression has a positive therapeutic effect as long as the diagnosis is correct.
