The glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) constitutes approximately 0.2-1.3% of all facial pain syndromes. The
GPN is a syndrome of neuropathic pain characterized by paroxysmal pain episodes localized in the posterior
tongue, tonsil, throat, or external ear canal. The first-line treatment is pharmacological. Patients who are
refractory to medical therapy can be treated surgically with microvascular decompression (MVD) or
sectioning the IX nerve and the upper rootlets of the X nerve. We aim to describe the technical nuances of
MVD of the IX cranial nerve with a targeted inferior mini-craniotomy in a patient with a neurovascular
compression.
