Idiopathic glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare disorder of the ninth cranial nerve characterized by severe paroxysmal pain affecting the ear, tongue and throat. Frame-based radiosurgery (SRS) has been shown to be an effective option. We report the first successful pain alleviation by frameless SRS in a GPN patient that failed both medical and surgical interventions.
特发性舌咽神经痛（GPN）是一种罕见的第九颅神经疾病，其特征为耳部、舌头和喉咙出现严重的阵发性疼痛。基于框架的立体定向放射外科治疗（SRS）已被证明是一种有效的治疗选择。我们报告了首例通过无框架SRS成功缓解疼痛的GPN患者，该患者此前药物和手术治疗均失败。
