Abstract
- Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is much less common in children and more difficult to relief its pain symptoms than the adults. We report an experience with peripheral glycerol injection for the control of pain in eight sick children with glossopharyngeal neuralgia. At the latest follow-up, 5 cases had a complete pain-free result after the treatment. There were two sick children who were recurred within three months, of which one child was respond to additional injections. It is concluded that the peripheral glycerol injection is safe and effective in the control of pain symptom among the children with glossopharyngeal neuralgia.<br /> (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
