Although rare, it is occasionally associated with cardiac syncope, as vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia (VGPN).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>We present the case of a 73-year-old man with VGPN misdiagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. The patient was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome, and a pacemaker was introduced. However, syncope still recurred. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a branch of the right posterior inferior cerebellar artery contacting the root exit zone of the right glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. We diagnosed VGPN due to neurovascular compression and performed microvascular decompression (MVD). The symptoms disappeared postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Diagnosis of VGPN needs appropriate medical interviews and physical examination. MVD is the only curative treatment for VGPN occurring as a neurovascular compression syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_432_2023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,22]],"date-time":"2023-06-22T02:41:27Z","timestamp":1687401687000},"page":"208","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Glossopharyngeal neuralgia with repeated cardiac syncope: A case report"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Shunsuke","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatsuya","family":"Shimizu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haruka","family":"Tsuneoka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takaaki","family":"Miyagishima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuhei","family":"Yoshimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_432_2023\/ref-1","first-page":"68","article-title":"Carbamazepine-induced atrioventricular block in an elderly woman","volume":"44","author":"Can","year":"2015","journal-title":"Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_432_2023\/ref-2","first-page":"150","article-title":"Glossopharyngeal neuralgia with syncope: A case report","volume":"10","author":"Hie","year":"2002","journal-title":"Neth Heart J"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_432_2023\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2015.05.007","article-title":"Glossopharyngeal neuralgia associated with cardiac syncope: Two case reports and literature review","volume":"12","author":"Krasoudakis","year":"2015","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_432_2023\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.1053\/eupc.2002.0298","article-title":"Glossopharyngeal neuralgia with cardiac syncope treated by glossopharyngeal rhizotomy and microvascular decompression","volume":"5","author":"Ozenci","year":"2003","journal-title":"Europace"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_432_2023\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"566","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-2982.2007.01304.x","article-title":"Vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia: A rare case of sincope responding to pregabalin","volume":"27","author":"Savica","year":"2007","journal-title":"Cephalalgia"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_432_2023\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"522","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.34.4.522","article-title":"Syncope induced by glossopharyngeal neuralgia: Sympathetic outflow to muscle","volume":"34","author":"Wallin","year":"1984","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_432_2023\/ref-7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"117","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-017-3347-1","article-title":"Microvascular decompression for glossopharyngeal neuralgia: A retrospective analysis of 228 cases","volume":"160","author":"Xia","year":"2018","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)"}],"container-title":["Surgical Neurology International"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/glossopharyngeal-neuralgia-with-repeated-cardiac-syncope-a-case-report\/","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/surgicalint-articles\/glossopharyngeal-neuralgia-with-repeated-cardiac-syncope-a-case-report\/","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,22]],"date-time":"2023-06-22T03:27:05Z","timestamp":1687404425000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/surgicalneurologyint.com\/surgicalint-articles\/glossopharyngeal-neuralgia-with-repeated-cardiac-syncope-a-case-report\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,16]]},"references-count":7,"alternative-id":["10.25259\/SNI_432_2023"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/sni_432_2023","relation":{},"ISSN":["2152-7806","2229-5097"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2152-7806","type":"electronic"},{"value":"2229-5097","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,16]]},"article-number":"208"}}
