Advanced Clinical Insights into Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia: From Pathophysiology to Surgical Intervention
This course provides a focused and in-depth exploration of glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN), a rare but debilitating cranial nerve disorder. Covering the anatomical and physiological basis of cranial nerve IX, it delves into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, distinctive clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and advanced treatment strategies. Emphasis is placed on evidence-based medical therapies and the latest surgical interventions, including microvascular decompression and radiosurgical techniques. Designed for clinicians and medical students, this course equips learners with the knowledge needed to accurately diagnose and manage GPN in both routine and complex clinical scenarios.
