Question 5

what are the symptoms of migral neuralgia?

Accepted Answer

Migral or trigeminal: I am speculating that you meant trigeminal neuralgia.  Trigeminal neuralgia is diagnosed clinically. Your doctor may still send you for a brain MRI to rule out any other pathology.

Question 6

can cricopharyngeal spasm causesupraorbital neuralgia?

Accepted Answer

No: The two aren't related. I'm curious about your question, though. Has a doctor diagnosed you with these, or did you google symptoms and come to these diagnoses yourself? More common than these two diagnoses would be anxiety causing headache and throat tightness. That might be the commonality between your symptoms, and psychologists on HealthTap are here to help you.

Question 10

is there a likely correlation between glossopharegial neuralgia and trigeminal neuragia?

Accepted Answer

Aberrant vessels: Both trigeminal neuralgia and glossopharygeal neuralgia are related in that they are usually caused by a prominent or tortuous vessel coming off the vertebro-basilar artery system. These vessels are more prominent and "dig" into these nerves thus leading to a pain syndrome. Treatment for both is often with neurosurgical microvascular decompression--that is, padding the nerves from the vessel.
