Choosing Fortis Hospital, Mulund for Microvascular Decompression (MVD) gives patients access to specialist-led cranial nerve surgery, advanced microsurgical visualization, and coordinated postoperative neurological care. Established in 2002, the JCI, NABH accredited hospital is located in Mumbai, India and operates 315 beds with modern neurosurgical infrastructure.

Microvascular Decompression (MVD) may be recommended when a blood vessel is identified as compressing a cranial nerve and causing recurrent facial pain, facial spasms, or other nerve-related symptoms. The surgeon creates a small surgical opening behind the ear and carefully separates the offending vessel from the nerve. A small cushioning material may be placed to prevent the vessel from contacting the nerve again. MRI and other specialized imaging can assist in identifying possible neurovascular compression before surgery.
