Microvascular Decompression for Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia
Neurosurgery, 1995Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is an uncommon cause of facial pain with a relative frequency of 0.2 to 1.3% when compared with trigeminal neuralgia. It is characterized by intermittent, lancinating pain involving the posterior tongue and pharynx, often with radiation to deep ear structures.

Efficacy of primary microvascular decompression versus subsequent microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2017OBJECTIVETrigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by intermittent, paroxysmal, and lancinating pain along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Microvascular decompression (MVD) directly addresses compression of the trigeminal nerve. The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients undergoing MVD as their first surgical intervention ...
