External neurolysis of the lingual nerve

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2002
The lingual nerve is sometimes injured during the surgical removal of an impacted mandibular third molar. The level of sensory recovery was studied in 10 patients who underwent external neurolysis of the lingual nerve. The mean time from third molar surgery to neurolysis was 13.5 months (range 9-24 months).

Microsurgical reconstruction of the lingual nerve

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1984
The surgical anatomy and common causes of lingual nerve damage are reviewed. Surgical indications for decompression, neurorrhaphy, and nerve grafting are discussed based on the review of 18 cases.

Litigation and the lingual nerve

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2003
A "malpractice crisis" exists in the United States. Litigation analysis helps to understand the causes and may be useful in prevention of suits. This study reviews litigation regarding the lingual nerve.Jury verdict reports were obtained from a computerized legal database for the years 1987 through 2000.

Taste perception after lingual nerve repair

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2000
This retrospective study evaluates patients' perception of taste after lingual nerve injury and repair. It is hypothesized that return of taste is a distinct neurophysiologic phenomenon related to specialized taste physiology and it does not correlate with specific, objective sensory return.During 1995 to 1996, 30 patients underwent microsurgical ...

Experiences in lingual nerve repair

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1992
An account is given of the experience gained through the exploration of 23 lingual nerves injured during third molar surgery, including a description of the findings in each case and the repair methods used. Details are given of the results of the preoperative and postoperative assessment.

Medicolegal Considerations Involving Iatrogenic Lingual Nerve Damage

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2018
The aim of this review is to improve risk management strategies through analysis of the anatomic, semeiotic, and medicolegal aspects that characterize iatrogenic lingual nerve damage (LND) and its legal consequences in the case of legal proceedings for a claim for compensation.

Lingual and Mylohyoid Nerves

2016
The lingual and mylohyoid nerves are presented together due to their corresponding morphological features. These include a common origin from the posterior trunk of the mandibular nerve (third division of CN V), similar trajectories through the infratemporal fossa to reach the posterior portion of the floor of the mouth, and multiple neural connections

Surgical Management of Lingual Nerve Injuries

Atlas of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics, 2001
Injuries to the lingual nerve remain a relatively uncommon event. However, given the frequency of surgical procedures in this anatomic region, it is likely that every oral and maxillofacial surgeon will be required to manage such an injury. When spontaneous recovery of lingual sensation is absent, microsurgical reconstruction can predictably achieve ...

Functional role of lingual nerve in breastfeeding

International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 2007
AbstractFunctional role of lingual nerve in breastfeeding was investigated in rat pups during the suckling period. DiI, a postmortem neuronal tracer, was used to confirm the immature lingual nerve (LN) responsible for tongue sensation and resulted in successful fiber labeling anterogradely to the tongue, which showed different distribution patterns ...

Lingual distribution of the human glossopharyngeal nerve

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2009
Nineteenth century anatomical descriptions of the anterior distribution of cranial nerve (CN) IX on the dorsal tongue are contrary to current concepts. By employing Sihler's stain, we demonstrated that, in fact, CN IX projects more anteriorly than the posterior third of the tongue.
