Default Dental Malpractice and MVD
My dad has Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia which we believe was caused by an extraction of five teeth without stitches.

Our neurosurgeon wants to pursue with MVD, despite lack of suggestive evidence through MRIs and such. But what I'm thinking is if dental malpractice is the cause of his disorder, wouldn't that exclude him as a candidate for MVD surgery?

According to this page** he should not have MVD:
Quote:
The aim of microvascular decompression surgery is to alleviate neurovascular compression upon the trigeminal nerve root and therefore is a surgery which is used to treat trigeminal neuralgia which was not caused by dental trauma.
What are you thoughts and experience on this matter?
