  • The Mandibular Nerve - Vc Or VIII by Prof
    The Mandibular Nerve - Vc or VIII by Prof. Dr. Imran Qureshi The Mandibular nerve is the third and largest division of the trigeminal nerve. It is a mixed nerve. Its sensory root emerges from the posterior region of the semilunar ganglion and is joined by the motor root of the trigeminal nerve. These two nerve bundles leave the cranial cavity through the foramen ovale and unite immediately to form the trunk of the mixed mandibular nerve that passes into the infratemporal fossa. Here, it runs anterior to the middle meningeal artery and is sandwiched between the superior head of the lateral pterygoid and tensor veli palatini muscles. After a short course during which a meningeal branch to the dura mater, and the nerve to part of the medial pterygoid muscle (and the tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini muscles) are given off, the mandibular trunk divides into a smaller anterior and a larger posterior division. The anterior division receives most of the fibres from the motor root and distributes them to the other muscles of mastication i.e. the lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid, temporalis and masseter muscles. The nerve to masseter and two deep temporal nerves (anterior and posterior) pass laterally above the medial pterygoid. The nerve to the masseter continues outward through the mandibular notch, while the deep temporal nerves turn upward deep to temporalis for its supply. The sensory fibres that it receives are distributed as the buccal nerve. The 1 | P a g e buccal nerve passes between the medial and lateral pterygoids and passes downward and forward to emerge from under cover of the masseter with the buccal artery.

  • The Mandibular Nerve: the Anatomy of Nerve Injury and Entrapment
    5 The Mandibular Nerve: The Anatomy of Nerve Injury and Entrapment M. Piagkou1, T. Demesticha2, G. Piagkos3, Chrysanthou Ioannis4, P. Skandalakis5 and E.O. Johnson6 1,3,4,5,6Department of Anatomy, 2Department of Anesthesiology, Metropolitan Hospital Medical School, University of Athens Greece 1. Introduction The trigeminal nerve (TN) is a mixed cranial nerve that consists primarily of sensory neurons. It exists the brain on the lateral surface of the pons, entering the trigeminal ganglion (TGG) after a few millimeters, followed by an extensive series of divisions. Of the three major branches that emerge from the TGG, the mandibular nerve (MN) comprises the 3rd and largest of the three divisions. The MN also has an additional motor component, which may run in a separate facial compartment. Thus, unlike the other two TN divisions, which convey afferent fibers, the MN also contains motor or efferent fibers to innervate the muscles that are attached to mandible (muscles of mastication, the mylohyoid, the anterior belly of the digastric muscle, the tensor veli palatini, and tensor tympani muscle). Most of these fibers travel directly to their target tissues. Sensory axons innervate skin on the lateral side of the head, tongue, and mucosal wall of the oral cavity. Some sensory axons enter the mandible to innervate the teeth and emerge from the mental foramen to innervate the skin of the lower jaw. An entrapment neuropathy is a nerve lesion caused by pressure or mechanical irritation from some anatomic structures next to the nerve. This occurs frequently where the nerve passes through a fibro-osseous canal, or because of impingement by an anatomic structure (bone, muscle or a fibrous band), or because of the combined influences on the nerve entrapment between soft and hard tissues.

Serial sections of 90 human fetal specimens ranging from 9 to 17 wk development were studied by light microscopy. Each fetal specimen was studied on both right and left sides, making a total of 180 cases for study. A 3-D reconstruction of the region analysed in one of the specimens was made. In 89 cases the buccal nerve was located medial to the temporalis muscle; in 73 cases it penetrated the muscle; in 15 cases it lay in a canal formed by the muscle fibres and was covered by fascia, and finally, in 3 cases it was a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. The study has revealed that in a large number of cases the buccal nerve maintains an intimate association with the temporalis muscle.

  • Mental Nerve Neuropathy: Case Report and Review
    CASE REPORT • OBSERVATIONS DE CAS Mental nerve neuropathy: case report and review Amy Turner-Iannacci, DDS;* Eisa Mozaffari, DMD;† Eric T. Stoopler, DMD‡ ABSTRACT Mental nerve neuropathy (MNN) or “numb chin syndrome” is a rare neurologic symptom most of- ten associated with malignancy. Patients typically develop paresthesia or numbness localized to the chin and lower lip and will often seek care at their local emergency department. Pain and ex- pansion of the lower jaw may also be present. We report a case of MNN associated with a metastatic lesion in the mandible. The purpose of this article is to highlight the importance of rec- ognizing MNN, a potentially life-threatening symptom of metastatic carcinoma, and enable clini- cians to properly diagnose MNN, which may mimic other conditions that affect the mandible. Key words: mental nerve neuropathy, metastatic carcinoma RÉSUMÉ La neuropathie du nerf mentonnier est un symptôme neurologique rare le plus souvent associé aux tumeurs malignes. Les patients manifestent une paresthésie ou un engourdissement dans la région du menton et de la lèvre inférieure et rechercheront souvent des soins au département d’urgence local. On pourra noter également une douleur et une expansion de la mâchoire in- férieure. Nous présentons un cas de neuropathie du nerf mentonnier associée à des lésions métas- tatiques au niveau de la maxillaire inférieure. Le présent article a comme objectif de souligner l’importance de l’identification de la neuropathie du nerf mentonnier, un symptôme potentielle- ment fatal du cancer métastatique et d’aider le clinicien à diagnostiquer avec exactitude ce type de neuropathie pouvant être confondu avec d’autres atteintes de la maxillaire inférieure.
