Abstract
A 78-year-old man with combined trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgia underwent glycerol rhizolysis of the trigeminal ganglion. The treatment led to the immediate relief of both neuralgias. We discuss the potential mechanism of this unexpected therapeutic effect with reference to the pathophysiology of trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgia.Entities:
