A case of an idiopathic glossopharyngeal neuralgia associated with an autoimmunological disorder of the thyroid gland is reported here. The relationship between these two diseases is discussed. In conclusion we propose that in all cases of idiopathic glossopharyngeal neuralgia metabolic and autoimmunological disorders of the thyroid should be considered.
