Has anyone had an MVD without a clear compression on their MRI? Any opinions on MVD vs rhizotomy?
Karen, FWIW, I've read many accounts of people having an MVD when nothing showed on their MRIs and having successful outcomes. I think the vast majority of people with this condition have normal MRIs. There were more videos on the vimeo site that deal with TN but I don't know if any of them are as good as Dr. Casey's.
