Abstract

|
Idiopathic transient unilateral glossopharyngeal nerve paralysis is very rare disease. Pathophysiology of relatively common facial nerve palsy is well known among isolated cranial nerve paralysis. But, glossopharyngeal nerve paralysis is passed up, if not carrying out careful physical examination. A search of the causes of mononeuropathy must include consideration of systemic and local disorders. Isolated glossopharyngeal nerve paralysis can be indirectly occurred by nasopharyngeal tumor, leukemia, myasthenia gravis and so on. Therefore, we should be enough physical inspection, blood and radiologic examination. We report a case of idiopathic transient unilateral glossopharyngeal paralysis with literatures review.
