title: Combined trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgia.
abstract: A case of combined trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralgia is described. The superior cerebellar artery and normal choroid plexus compressed and indented the root entry zones of the trigeminal and glossopharyngeal nerves, respectively. Complete relief was obtained after microvascular decompression and resection of the choroid plexus.
