Hypoesthesia after an inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block does not commonly occur, but some cases are reported. The causes of hypoesthesia include a needle injury or toxicity of local anesthetic agents, and the incidence itself can cause stress to both dentists and patients. This case presents a hypoesthesia on mental nerve area followed by IAN block anesthesia with 2% lidocaine. Prescription o...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate hypoesthesia of the lower lip using trigeminal somatosensory-evoked potential following 2 types of sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). There were 30 patients with mandibular prognathism, with and without asymmetry, who were divided into three groups: the Obwegeser method (Ob) group, the Obwegeser-Dal Pont...

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the presence of anatomical and functional damage to the afferent and sensorial fibres using the Neurometer CPT test. A questionnaire regarding pain was sent to 300 women who had undergone surgery six months earlier. Out of 300 patients 67 did not respond; 105 experienced no pain; while 128 felt pain. One hundred and twenty-eight women were divided into t...

BACKGROUND Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) is a common orthognatic surgical procedure. Sensory disturbances in the inferior alveolar nerve, including hypoesthesia and dysesthesia, are frequently observed after BSSRO, even without distinct nerve injury. The mechanisms that underlie individual differences in the vulnerability to sensory disturbances have not yet been elucidated. ...

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) can help prevent permanent neurological damage during cervical myelopathy surgery. However, injuries occur positioning before A 61-year-old man had symptoms of hypoesthesia and motor weakness due to ossification the posterior longitudinal ligament compressing spinal cord. The surgery involved anterior corpectomy decompression fusion with IONM....

background inguinal hernia is one of the most common male diseases all over the world with an incidence rate of 18-24% throughout life. chronic inguinal pain is one of the complications that prolong return to work time. objectives the main aim of this study was to determine the effect of ilioinguinal neurectomy on postoperative chronic pain (pcp) in patients that underwent open inguinal hernia ...

OBJECTIVES (1) To investigate the development of hypoesthesia from soon after the whiplash injury to 6 months postinjury and (2) to determine differences in detection thresholds between those with initial features of poor recovery and those without these signs. METHODS Fifty-two participants with acute whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) (<1 mo) were classified as either "high-risk" (n=17; Ne...

PURPOSE Mandibular fractures are amongst the most common facial fractures and are usually treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injuries are seen frequently in mandibular fractures as well as after ORIF of these fractures due to the exposition and the close proximity of the nerve during fracture reduction. Therefore the continuity of the IAN can b...
