Orofacial pain disorders can present as a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for oral health care providers. Odontogenic and non-odontogenic 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.
