Neurovascular Compression

Neurovascular compression is a condition in which blood vessels around the hearing, balance, and facial nerves can cause compression and lead to sensations of hearing loss, imbalance, and abnormal facial movements.

Etiology for Neurovascular Compression

Neurovascular compression occurs when an artery or a vein is in inappropriate contact with a surrounding nerve.  The reasons for this phenomenon are poorly understood.
