MVD is the appropriate treatment now. The cost of MVD or Microvascular decompression varies from hospital to hospital and also on the catagory of room stay. In a corporate hospital it could be approximately 1.5 - 2 L. Also to be taken into consideration is associated medical illnesses and duration of stay in hospital, ICU if any.
