Glossopharyngeal neuralgia due to exuberant choroid plexus
Surgical Neurology
|June 1, 1980
Abstract:
The case of a 73-year-old woman with a glossopharyngeal neuralgia due to compression of the 9th nerve by the lateral choroid plexus of the 4th ventricle excessively protruding through the foramen of Luschka is reported. No similar cases are described in the literature. Such an eventuality should be suspected and verified in the presence of a glossopharyngeal neuralgia in which no other causal factors can be demonstrated.
