Choosing NMC Specialty Hospital, Al Nahda for Microvascular Decompression (MVD) gives patients access to specialist-led cranial nerve surgery, advanced microsurgical visualization, and coordinated postoperative neurological care. Established in 2004, the JCI accredited hospital is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and operates 187 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.
