Atypical Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia: A Case Report

Abstract

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a rare condition that occurs far less than other cranial neuralgias, such as trigeminal neuralgia. Glossopharyngeal neuralgia, due to its location, diagnosis is often difficult. Numerous diagnoses contribute to the differential, especially, when the patient arrives with acute facial pain. Our patient arrived in our rehabilitation department suffering from atypical neck and facial pain.
