Excerpt

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare, sporadic condition related to hyperactivity of the glossopharyngeal nerve (GN). The clinical picture is characterized by repeated episodes of severe unilateral pain at the back of the tongue, throat, part of the ear, and tonsils [1‐5]. The carotid diaphragm is a thin, smooth, membrane-like intraluminal filling defect arising along the posterolateral wall of the carotid artery, usually associated with carotid megabulb [6‐8]. This article describes an extremely rare case of GPN caused by a megabulb and diaphragm of the left carotid artery, successfully treated with stenting. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the association between GPN and carotid megabulb. …
