Various factors have been considered in the etiology and pathogenesis of glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Vascular compression of the involved cranial nerves has been demonstrated in sporadic cases. In this series of six patients, it was noted with the aid of the operating microscope that the ninth and tenth cranial nerves were compressed by a tortuous vertebral artery or posterior inferior cerebellar artery at the nerve root entry zone in five cases. In selected patients, microvascular…

MRI Findings and Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Microvascular Decompression for Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia
TLDR
Microvascular decompression provides effective and durable pain relief for properly selected patients with medically refractory glossopharyngeal neuralgia.
Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia Associated with Aberrant Internal Carotid Artery in the Oropharynx
TLDR
A case of GPN associated with an aberrant internal carotid artery manifesting itself as a pulsatile mass in the oropharynx is reported, which is likely to be associated with carcinoma of the tongue and tonsil.
Nervus Intermedius Neuralgia (Hunt)
  • G. Bruyn
  • Medicine
    Cephalalgia : an international journal of headache
  • 1984
TLDR
There is no major reason why the nervus intermedius Wrisbergii, which comprises a sensory fibre compartment and a mass of ganglion-cells as part of the facial nerve, should renounce this right.
Treatments of glossopharyngeal neuralgia: towards standard procedures
TLDR
An overview of the surgical procedures for the treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia and of the own experience is provided.
Air CT cisternography in the diagnosis of vascular loop causing vestibular nerve dysfunction.
TLDR
This presentation concerns 27 patients who were studied by air CT cisternography of the cerebellopontine angle cistern and internal auditory canal followed by surgical repair, and postulates dampened pulsation as the reason for being able to visualize the vessels on the air study.
Microvascular decompression for glossopharyngeal neuralgia: a long-term retrospectic review of the Milan-Bologna experience in 31 consecutive cases
TLDR
MVD is a safe and effective treatment for GN in patients of all ages and always resolved in the following months, with no mortality and no long-term surgical morbidity.
Surgical Treatment of Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia as Vascular Compression Syndrome via Transcondylar Fossa (Supracondylar Transjugular Tubercle) Approach
TLDR
The transcondylar fossa approach makes the MVD for GPN both effective and safe, and can be sufficiently seen with gentle retraction of the cerebellar hemisphere, when using this approach.
Posterior condylar canal dural arteriovenous fistula as a rare cause of glossopharyngeal neuralgia: A case report
TLDR
Although glossopharyngeal neuralgia caused by dAVF is rare, it can present due to intracranial lesions located adjacent to the glossopharygeal nerve or vagus nerve, and Brain MRI is therefore required to identify secondary causes in all patients with glossopholia.
Neuralgia of the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves: long-term outcome following surgical treatment and literature review
TLDR
In the experience, surgery is safe and effective for the treatment of vago-glossopharyngeal and vagal neuralgia and the first two rootlets of the vagal nerve were sectioned.

TLDR
An ischemic injury to the glossopharyngeal nerve in the region of the jugular foramen that resulted in an artificial synapse is the proposed etiology.
The vagus nerve in surgical consideration of glossopharyngeal neuralgia.
TLDR
Reports of involvement of the vagus nerve in so-called glossopharyngeal neuralgia are reported to be essential to the recognition of the unusual case where both the 9th and 10th nerves are involved in Neuralgia and so to take appropriate surgical measures for relief.
ANOMALOUS VASCULAR LESION IN CEREBELLOPONTILE ANGLE: SEVERE NEURALGIC PAIN IN THE EAR AND PROFOUND NERVOUS DISTURBANCE; OPERATION AND RECOVERY
TLDR
A patient, a young woman, had sharp, stabbing, excruciating pain deep in the external auditory canal, of such severity that she would cry out and cringe, holding her hand to her ear, and the patient was subsequently relieved of pain.
GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL NEURALGIA (TIC DOULOUREUX): ITS DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
TLDR
Pain of the same type does occur in the distribution of the glossopharyngeal nerve, so that the term "tic douloureux" is no longer synonymous with trigeminal neuralgia, but must now include glossopharygeal Neuralgia.
Etiology and definitive microsurgical treatment of hemifacial spasm. Operative techniques and results in 47 patients.
TLDR
The clinical and operative findings are reviewed in 47 patients with intractable hemifacial spasm and mechanical compression distortion of the root exit zone of the facial nerve was noted in all 47 patients.
ELONGATED STYLOID PROCESS: A CAUSE OF GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL NEURALGIA
TLDR
The fact that a form of neuralgia closely resembling the glossopharyngeal type can be caused by an abnormal elongation of the styloid process and that the pain can be relieved by operative intervention is called attention to.
