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.
