“…The existence of nervus intermedius neuralgia or geniculate neuralgia as clinical entity has long been a matter of debate, since otalgia does not always originate in the nervus intermedius or the geniculate ganglion [13]. Sensory supply of the ear involves other cranial nerves, such as for instance, the glossopharyngeal nerve.…”

Familial occipital and nervus intermedius neuralgia in a Swiss family

et al. 2010

Familial trigeminal neuralgia has been reported in 1–2% of cases consistent with an autosomal dominant inheritance. We present a Swiss family with several members suffering from occipital and nervus intermedius neuralgia alone or in combination. We suggest that peripheral sensory anastomoses or central convergence of afferent pathways could explain neuralgia affecting two cranial nerves. The pedigree has two main characteristics: (1) affected individuals in two generations and (2) in the first generation the father is affected, in the second generation all women are affected, and none of the men. This is suggestive of an X-linked dominant or an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance.

“…The sensory afferents innervate the inner ear, the middle ear, the mastoid cells, the eustachian tube and a part of the pinna of the ear. The cell bodies of the sensory afferents are located in the geniculate ganglion [8] . Peripheral anastomotic connections between the cranial nerves (Vth, VIIth, IXth, and Xth cranial nerves and the 2nd and 3rd cervical nerves) supplying the craniofacial region form the anatomical basis for the diagnostic vagueness or uncertainty which is sometimes present in facial pain [8] .…”

The authors present the case of a 63-year-old woman with a 5-year history of intractable paroxysmal ‘atypical’ otofacial pain. The patient’s pain attacks were not typical for either trigeminal or vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia. Surgical exploration via a suboccipital retromastoid craniotomy showed vascular compression of the nervus intermedius by the anterior inferior cerebellar artery and the patient’s pain was successfully managed with microvascular decompression.

“…18,19 The presumed etiology of NI neuralgia is analogous to that of a trigeminal tic: cross compression of the nerve at its central peripheral myelin junction. The symptoms of NI neuralgia are deep ear pain, deep face pain, or throat pain.…”
