“…Schäfer and Thane (1903) reported a connection between the facial nerve and the supraorbital nerve, a connection that has since been confirmed by various others (Duke‐Elder,1961; Baumel,1974; Hwang et al,2005). In their study on Korean cadavers, Hwang et al (2005) reported that the horizontal branch of the supraorbital nerve is in touch with the temporal branch of the facial nerve and that there are actual connections between them in 44% of cases. Schäfer and Thane (1903) and Duke‐Elder (1961) reported a connection between the horizontal branch of the supraorbital nerve and temporal branch of the facial nerve as well.…”

The facial nerve (CN VII) nerve follows a torturous and complex path from its emergence at the pontomedullary junction to its various destinations. It exhibits a highly variable and complicated branching pattern and forms communications with several other cranial nerves. The facial nerve forms most of these neural intercommunications with branches of all three divisions of the trigeminal nerve (CN V), including branches of the auriculotemporal, buccal, mental, lingual, infraorbital, zygomatic, and ophthalmic nerves. Furthermore, CN VII also communicates with branches of the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII), glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX), and vagus nerve (CN X) as well as with branches of the cervical plexus such as the great auricular, greater, and lesser occipital, and transverse cervical nerves. This review intends to explore the many communications between the facial nerve and other nerves along its course from the brainstem to its peripheral branches on the human face. Such connections may have importance during clinical examination and surgical procedures of the facial nerve. Knowledge of the anatomy of these neural connections may be particularly important in facial reconstructive surgery, neck dissection, and various nerve transfer procedures as well as for understanding the pathophysiology of various cranial, skull base, and neck disorders.

“…54 Furthermore, the location of the recipient site aff ects the outcome of sensory recovery: sensation is recovered better in the orofacial region than in the trunk and lower extremities. [55][56][57] We suggest that this eff ect might be partly explained by higher cortical representation of the face. 58 A benefi cial side-eff ect of immunosuppression with tacrolimus is the dose-dependent acceleration of axonal regeneration, as reported previously for limb allografts.…”

Since the fi rst facial transplantation in 2005, 28 have been done worldwide with encouraging immunological, functional, psychological, and aesthetic outcomes. Unlike solid organ transplantation, which is potentially life-saving, facial transplantation is life-changing. This diff erence has generated ethical concerns about the exposure of otherwise young and healthy individuals to the sequelae of lifelong, high-dose, multidrug immunosuppression. Nevertheless, advances in immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive protocols, microsurgical techniques, and computer-aided surgical planning have enabled broader clinical application of this procedure to patients. Although episodes of acute skin rejection continue to pose a serious threat to face transplant recipients, all cases have been controlled with conventional immunosuppressive regimens, and no cases of chronic rejection have been reported.

The aim of this study is to elucidate the detailed anatomical relation of mental nerve with marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve. Twenty-three hemi-faces of adult Korean cadavers (11 Male and 7 female) were dissected. All locations of crossing (C) of marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve and mental nerve were measured below the inferior verge of the lower vermillion (V): a vertical distance (V-Gn) between V and gnathion (Gn) and horizontal distance (V-OC) between V and oral commissure (OC). The mental foramen located at 19.8 +/- 4.4 mm below the inferior verge of the lower vermillion (V) and 34.3 +/- 5.2 mm laterally from the midline. In all specimens there were found interconnections between marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve and mental nerve. The number of connecting site was 8.26 +/- 2.49. Microscopically, both of the nerve branches had a common epineurium, but the perineurium separated. V-Gn and the vertical distance between V and the connecting point (C) was in the ratio of approximately 2:1, and V-OC and the horizontal distance from V:C was an equal ratio. The proximity of the mental nerve and marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve to each other draws an attention as operating the mental area.
