Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a painful condition, affecting the ninth cranial nerve, rarely described in the course of multiple sclerosis. Here we describe a case of multiple sclerosis presenting with glossopharyngeal neuralgia. We suggest the presence of demyelinating areas at the nerve root entry zone as principal trigger mechanism.

Abstract
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a painful condition, affecting the ninth cranial nerve, rarely described in the course of multiple sclerosis. Here we describe a case of multiple sclerosis presenting with glossopharyngeal neuralgia. We suggest the presence of demyelinating areas at the nerve root entry zone as principal trigger mechanism.File in questo prodotto:
