Abstract：
The glossopharyngeal nerve is a complicated and mixed nerve including sensory, motor, parasympathetic, and visceral fibers. It mediates taste, salivation, and swallowing. The low cranial nerves, including IXth, Xth, and XIth, are closely related, sharing some nuclei in the brainstem. The glossopharyngeal nerve arises from the spinal trigeminal nucleus and tract, solitary tract and nucleus, nucleus ambiguous, and inferior salivatory nucleus in the brainstem. There are communicating branches forming a neural anastomotic network between low cranial nerves. Comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy of the glossopharyngeal nerve is crucial for performing surgical procedures without significant complications. This review describes the microsurgical anatomy of the glossopharyngeal nerve and illustrates some pictures involving the glossopharyngeal nerve and its connective and neurovascular structures.
摘要：
舌咽神经是一种复杂的混合神经，包括感觉，电机,副交感神经,和内脏纤维。它调节味道，流涎,和吞咽。低颅神经，包括IXth,Xth,和XIth,密切相关，在脑干共享一些细胞核.舌咽神经起源于三叉神经的脊髓核和束，孤束和核，核模糊，和脑干的下流核.在低颅神经之间存在形成神经吻合网络的通信分支。全面了解舌咽神经的解剖结构对于进行无明显并发症的外科手术至关重要。这篇综述描述了舌咽神经的显微外科解剖，并说明了一些涉及舌咽神经及其结缔组织和神经血管结构的图片。
