Awakening Awareness
The National Library of Medicine
lists five clinical conditions likely to affect the Glossopharyngeal Nerve.
– Styloid fracture
– Eagle syndrome
– Glossopharyngeal neuralgia
– Iatrogenic injury during the placement of laryngeal mask airway
– Tonsillar carcinoma
And, the ‘specific location’ jumped off the page into my awareness.
The location of the green nerve below is much easier to see
than my finger down my throat!
The Tonsillar branch of Cranial Nerve IX provides sensory innervation to the palatine tonsil.
In my recent visit to Santa Monica for my second MR Neurography scan, (the first one having been performed
in 2011 by the same physician), the doctor asked me to specifically show him where the throat pain was located. This doctor writes his own proprietary protocols; he was the creator of MR Neurography in 1992.
A locater marker was placed on the outside of my jaw to wear during an additional MRI scan.
In addition, he ordered a section of this MRI with my finger placed inside my throat on ‘the spot’.
I came home and four days later uncovered a shocking piece of information when researching
the Glossopharyngeal Nerve on an anatomy app during an appointment with my PT.
PATHWAYS and CROSSROADS
of the Pharyngeal, Tonsillar, Lingual branch of Cranial Nerve IX
Exiting the skull. Three nerves – Glossopharyngeal, Vagus and Accessory nerve – all join this exit downward. The green nerve below is the Glossopharyngeal.
The Tonsillar, Pharyngeal and Lingual branch of this nerve meanders at the level of the coronoid process deep in the throat between the middle and superior constrictor muscles.
Is this a deeper anatomical understanding ? The MR Neurography and MRI reports will not arrive until December to reconfirm (or not) the glossopharyngeal entrapment discovered in 2011
and hopefully identify what is happening in the throat!
And where does this lead?
The neurosurgeon/neuroradiologist uses Hylenex for a glossopharyngeal nerve injection. Hylenex contains hyaluronidase which breaks down hyaluronic acid.
I have also discovered that hypercoagulation is a potential risk/contraindication
to using this product!
And guess who has four genetic hypercoagulation variants?
Hot laser is said to break down hyaluronic acid.
Turzo is interested in potentially discussing peptide injections with Filler
instead of the Hylenex in my case of hypercoagulation contraindication.
Waiting and watching in the Unknown.
