ABSTRACT
Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a pain syndrome characterized by unilateral sharp pain in the sensory distribution of the ninth cranial nerve. The first line of treatment for GPN is medical.

We present two cases of secondary GPN that was managed with pulsed radiofrequency by extraoral approach. The results were satisfactory.
