Abstract
Orofacial pain disorders can present as a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for oral health care providers. Odontogenic and nonodontogenic sources of orofacial pain should be considered and cranial neuralgias may be included in the differential diagnosis. Synchronous presentation of multiple cranial neuralgias is a rare occurrence. We report a case of a patient with a synchronous presentation of trigeminal, glossopharyngeal, and geniculate neuralgias. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a synchronous presentation of these conditions reported to date.
