Glossopharyngeal neuralgia, an episodic severe pain confined to the distribution of the glossopharyngeal nerve, is similar in nature to trigeminal neuralgia. It occurs intermittently and is located in the tonsils, root of the tongue, pharynx, and deep in the ear canal. It is often attacked by swallowing, talking, yawning, coughing, accompanied by a feeling of laryngeal spasm, and there can be trigger points in the pharynx, root of the tongue, and tonsillar fossa. Treatment can be done by microvascular decompression! Procedure: Patients are hospitalized for surgical treatment, with an average hospital stay of 10 days. Under general anesthesia, an incision of about 4 cm is made behind the affected ear and a cranial window of about 2 cm is opened, and the blood vessels and nerves that compress the linguopharyngeal nerve are cushioned with a special material under the operating microscope. The entire operation is completed within 1 hour with little or no damage to the patient’s nerve and brain tissue.
