    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a rare condition causing severe facial pain.
    • It can be complicated by serious neurological and cardiac events.

    Observation:

    • Thirty-three cases of glossopharyngeal neuralgia with syncope, cardiac arrhythmias, or convulsions were reviewed.
    • A new case is presented detailing clinical features.

    Findings:

    • Medical treatment with Carbamezapine and Atropine may be effective initially.
    • Surgical intervention provides a better prognosis for permanent relief.
    • Cervical and intracranial surgical approaches are recommended.

    Implications:

    • Prompt treatment is crucial for patients experiencing glossopharyngeal neuralgia complications.
    • Surgery should be considered for patients unresponsive to or relapsing from medical management.
    • Early surgical intervention can prevent severe associated symptoms and improve patient outcomes.
