Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is rarely described, in contrast to trigeminal neuralgia. A.N. Filatov, who collected in the literature a description of 26 cases of glossopharyngeal neuralgia in 1930, correctly points out that the small number of published cases is explained not so much by the rarity of the disease as by the fact that it is often mixed with trigeminal neuralgia.
