title: [Gabapentin treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia with cardiac syncope].
abstract: A 61-year-old man with glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) associated with cardiac syncope was successfully treated with gabapentin. The treatment of GPN with the antiepileptics is discussed with focus on gabapentin, because of its few side effects in comparison with other anticonvulsants.
