We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Microvascular decompression is used to treat very painful or intensely spasming facial nerves that haven't responded to medication. It is usually used to treat trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, or hemifacial spasm.

These conditions can happen when a vein or artery compresses (pushes on) one of your facial nerves. In microvascular compression, a surgeon will move the vein or artery away from the facial nerve and insert a tiny pad to keep them apart.
