Two cases of essential glossopharyngeal neuralgia treated successfully with percutaneous radio-frequency thermocoagulation are reported. In order to avoid cardiovascular complications due to interference with the vagus nerve, a modification of the technique previously used is proposed. The modification used in the cases presented here consists in the use of lower temperature during a shorter time with four progressive steps controlled with electrical stimulation. A small-surface active electrode, exact location in the petrous ganglion, permanent stimulation control, and a smaller thermal lesion are the cardinal features of the technique used in the cases reported.
报告了两例经皮射频热凝术成功治疗原发性舌咽神经痛的病例。为避免因迷走神经受干扰而引发心血管并发症，提出了对先前使用技术的改进方法。此处所呈现病例中使用的改进方法包括在较短时间内采用较低温度，并通过电刺激控制分四个渐进步骤进行。小表面活性电极、在岩神经节中的精确位置、永久刺激控制以及较小的热损伤是所报告病例中使用技术的主要特征。
