What are the cardiovascular and cerebral complications associated with percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the glossopharyngeal nerve?
The study describes cardiovascular and cerebral complications during glossopharyngeal nerve thermocoagulation and their potential value in anticipating vagus nerve lesions.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Cardiovascular and cerebral complications may signal vagus nerve risk during glossopharyngeal thermocoagulation; hypothesis-generating observation needing prospective validation.
The cardiovascular and cerebral complications observed during percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the glossopharyngeal nerve are described. The value of such symptoms in anticipating a lesion of the vagus nerve is discussed.
