Vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia treated by microvascular decompression and glossopharyngeal rhizotomy: clinical results of 21 cases.
BACKGROUND Microvascular decompression (MVD) and rhizotomy are all selected for treating vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia (VGPN). Nonetheless, controversies still exist about their curative effect on VGPN. Here we evaluate the effectiveness of MVD together with rhizotomy of the glossopharyngeal nerve for the treatment of VGPN. METHODS This study was carried out on 21 patients who were diagnosed...
متن کاملGlossopharyngeal neuralgia with cardiac syncope treated by glossopharyngeal rhizotomy and microvascular decompression.
A glossopharyngeal neuralgia case with cardiac asystole is presented. The sinus mode dysfunction and subsequent syncope with pain appears to be the most important life-threatening symptom in the late period of the disease. Because of cardiac symptoms induced by intense vagal stimulation, this case was considered to be vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia. Several medical and surgical alternatives hav...
متن کامل[Results of microvascular decompression in 16 cases of glossopharyngeal neuralgia].
Seven males and nine females with glossopharyngeal neuralgia were treated by microvascular decompression (MVD) over a 4-year period. Their ages ranged from 40 to 72 years (average, 54.7 years). The duration of pain ranged from 2 months to 13 years, and all except one patient had brief attacks of lancinating pain in the throat and/or ear. One patient reported dull, paroxysmal throat pain. At sur...
متن کاملMicrovascular Decompression for Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia: Clinical Analyses of 30 Cases
Objective We present our experience of microvascular decompression (MVD) for glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) and evaluate the postoperative outcomes in accordance with four different operative techniques during MVD. Methods In total, 30 patients with intractable primary typical GPN who underwent MVD without rhizotomy and were followed for more than 2 years were included in the analysis. Each...
متن کاملMicrovascular decompression in the management of glossopharyngeal neuralgia: analysis of 217 cases.
OBJECTIVE Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare condition that often presents with the seemingly benign symptom of deep throat pain. Medical management of this condition has not been very effective, and surgical therapy has ranged from nerve sectioning to microvascular decompression (MVD). We present our experience with more than 200 patients who underwent MVD for treatment of GPN at our i...
