Traitement de la névralgie essentielle du glosso-pharyngien par thermocoagulation ou blocage anesthésique du ganglion d'Andersch

A lesion observed in the nervous portion of the jugular foramen was associated with major complications although there were no deaths. Unlike intra-cranial surgery, this procedure can be proposed without limit on age. The long-term results are not as satisfactory as those with intracranial surgery, but this procedure is less invasive, reproducible, and without risk in trained hands.
