The
patient was a 63-year-old-aged female, who experienced 7 years of bilateral
cheek and oropharyngeal burning and stabbing pain. Touching the mouth and
bilateral throat or swallowing could provoke the pain. Each episode of pain
lasted a few seconds to a few minutes, and in severe cases could last for
hours. Oral administration of carbamazepine and radiofrequency treatment before
hospitalization had only poor effects. We diagnosed the patient as bilateral
trigeminal neuralgia combined with bilateral glossopharyngeal neuralgia. After
hospitalization, brain MRI examination was performed and did not reveal any
occupational lesions. The bilateral pain of pharyngeal pain disappeared after
the treatment of 1% butanocaine respectively, and this confirmed the diagnosis
of bilateral glossopharyngeal neuralgia. The patient complained that
the pain of right side was more serious than the other side.
