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]
