The first description of severe pain in the distribution of the glossopharyngeal nerve is credited to Weisenberg, in 1910, in a patient with cerebellopontine angle tumor. However, it was Harris, in 1926, who coined the term glossopharyngeal neuralgia to describe this rare condition characterized by paroxysms of excruciating pain located laterally at the back of the tongue, soft palate, throat, and lateral and posterior pharynx, radiating to the ear. Swallowing, coughing, yawning or chewing may trigger pain, which usually lasts from seconds to minutes. The association between glossopharyngeal neuralgia and syncope is very rare, being identified by brief episodes of bradycardia, asystole, and hypotension. Such an association, with this same pathophysiology, was first described by Riley et al in 1942.
1910年，魏森堡首次描述了舌咽神经分布区域的剧痛，该患者患有桥小脑角肿瘤。然而，1926年哈里斯创造了“舌咽神经痛”一词，用于描述这种罕见病症，其特征为位于舌后部外侧、软腭、咽喉以及咽侧壁和后壁的阵发性剧痛，并向耳部放射。吞咽、咳嗽、打哈欠或咀嚼可能引发疼痛，疼痛通常持续数秒至数分钟。舌咽神经痛与晕厥之间的关联非常罕见，表现为短暂的心动过缓、心搏停止和低血压发作。具有相同病理生理学的这种关联最早由赖利等人在1942年描述。
