A rare variation of the glossopharyngeal nerve. [PDF]
The glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) provides innervation to the parotid gland, carotid body/sinus, mucosa of the middle ear, tongue and oropharynx and the stylopharyngeus muscle. The vagus nerve provides innervation to the remaining skeletal muscle of the pharynx. CN IX contributes to the pharyngeal plexus and normally provides innervation to the mucosa

Ganglioneuroma of Glossopharyngeal Nerve in a Patient with Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia: A Case Report. [PDF]
Ganglioneuroma is a rare tumor. Such tumor arising from cranial nerve is further rare. So far our knowledge, in the literature there is no report of ganglioneuroma involving glossopharyngeal nerve. Here, we report a case of very small glossopharyngeal nerve ganglioneuroma and the patient also had longstanding glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN).

Tracking the glossopharyngeal nerve pathway through anatomical references in cross-sectional imaging techniques: a pictorial review [PDF]
The glossopharyngeal nerve (GPN) is a rarely considered cranial nerve in imaging interpretation, mainly because clinical signs may remain unnoticed, but also due to its complex anatomy and inconspicuousness in conventional cross-sectional imaging.
