About

Aiman Maidan is a neurosurgeon whose work centers on the surgical treatment of cranial nerve compression disorders, with a particular focus on microvascular decompression (MVD). His major contribution is a comprehensive, contemporary review that synthesizes the historical evolution and modern advances of MVD as the gold-standard procedure for trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 16 citations, provides an essential update for clinicians and researchers navigating the nuances of patient selection, intraoperative monitoring, and complication management. Maidan’s review not only documents the field’s trajectory—from early innovations to present-day refinements—but also highlights emerging techniques that promise to improve outcomes and reduce risks. By offering a clear, evidence-based synthesis, his work serves as a vital resource for neurosurgeons and trainees alike, bridging historical context with practical, contemporary guidance. Maidan’s scholarship underscores his role in advancing the understanding and application of MVD, making him a key voice in the ongoing effort to optimize surgical care for patients with debilitating cranial nerve disorders.
