Abstract
We report two cases of presumed idiopathic glossopharyngeal neuralgia that were discovered intraoperatively to be associated with compressio n by choroid plexus papillomas, and by a variable degree of vascular c ompression at the root entry zones of cranial nerves IX and X. The com bination of the two entities in glossopharyngeal neuralgia has not pre viously been reported.
