Abstract The glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves mediate the complex interplay between the
many functions of the upper aerodigestive tract. Defects may occur anywhere from
the brainstem to the peripheral nerve and can result in significant impairment
in speech, swallowing, and breathing. Multiple etiologies can produce symptoms.
In this review, the authors broadly examine the normal functions, clinical
examination, and various pathologies of cranial nerves IX and X.
