Implication

This report demonstrates surgical techniques to relieve vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia in patients with neurovascular conflicts, suggesting effective treatment options.

Key Points

To outline the surgical technique for microvascular decompression in patients with drug-refractory vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia caused by neurovascular conflict.
Utilized high-resolution MRI to identify neurovascular conflicts
Performed microvascular decompression via a retromastoid-retrosigmoid infrafloccular approach
Exposed the vago-glossopharyngeal nerve complex through the cisterna magna
Successfully relieved symptoms of vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia in targeted patients
Achieved safe exposure of the nerve complex
Highlighted the role of posterior inferior cerebellar artery in neurovascular conflict
