Glossopharyngeal neuralgia, asystole, and seizures occurred in a patient with an internal carotid occlusion and external carotid stenosis. Swallowing was the triggering mechanism for these events. Mechanical stimulation of the pharynx failed to reproduce the symptoms. An ischemic injury to the glossopharyngeal nerve in the region of the jugular foramen that resulted in an artificial synapse is the proposed etiology.
一名患有颈内动脉闭塞和颈外动脉狭窄的患者出现了舌咽神经痛、心搏停止和癫痫发作。吞咽是这些事件的触发机制。对咽部进行机械刺激未能重现这些症状。推测病因是颈静脉孔区域的舌咽神经发生缺血性损伤,从而形成了人工突触。
