Abstract
Introduction: Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) is an inherited chronic peripheral neuropathy characterized by atrophy, weakness, and distal sensory loss.[1] [2] Although CMT typically affects peripheral nerves, few case studies reported rare coincidence of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) in CMT patients.[3] [4] [5] Etiology of TGN in this group of patients is believed to be from underlying CMT-induced neuropathy. In this report, we present a case of intractable trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) in a patient diagnosed with CMT. Indication for microvascular decompression and long-term follow-up is highlighted.
