“…In this case, the hematoma was found incidentally in the postmortem mandible, and mental foramen and related nerve were included deep to this hematoma, which means some pathological changes in this space could compress or damage the foramen and nerve. Since hypesthesia or anesthesia of the lower lip as a sign of inflammation of the ipsilateral mandible was first described by Vincent [ 7 ] in 1896, it has been well recognized in osteomyelitis and other infectious conditions of the mandible and often described as “Vincent’s Syndrome” [ 8 ].…”

Our previous studies based on intraoral dissection of fresh cadavers revealed that the fissure and loose connective tissues deep to the mucosa between the incisivus labii inferioris muscle and buccinator muscle form the entrance of the newly discovered bucco-mandibular space. To support the clinical significance of this space, we report the finding of a hematoma within this space in an adult fresh cadaver. Such a finding lends credence to studying the bucco-mandibular space and might help better understand the spread of some infections in the oral region.

“…It has also been reported that only 15% of the cases occurred due to an inflammatory process. A correspondingly limited number of cases of periapical-infection-related MNP have been reported [ 9 , 12 – 14 , 18 – 21 ].…”

Many systemic and local factors can cause paresthesia, and it is rarely caused by infections of dental origin. This report presents a case of mental nerve paresthesia caused by endodontic infection of a mandibular left second premolar. Resolution of the paresthesia began two weeks after conventional root canal treatment associated with antibiotic therapy and was completed in eight weeks. One year follow-up radiograph indicated complete healing of the radiolucent periapical lesion. The tooth was asymptomatic and functional.

“…There have been reports of anesthesia of the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve secondary to odontogenic infections, from the maxillary secondary branch to pericoronaritis of the top of the third molar (Barrett and Buckley, 1986), and to maxillary sinusitis (Spillane and Wells, 1959). Regarding the mandibular branch, periapical alterations of the lower molars and premolars have been implicated (Barrett and Buckley, 1986). TN of herpetic origin in localized herpes zoster infection has also been documented (Peñarrocha et al , 1993).…”

Trigeminal neuropathies (TNs) are well recognized disorders characterized and manifesting as skin and mucosal numbness in the region innervated by the trigeminal nerve. Facial numbness indicates trigeminal sensory alteration affecting the trigeminal system. TNs always pose differential location difficulties as multiple diseases are capable of producing them: they can be the result of traumatism, tumors, or diseases of the connective tissue, infectious or demyelinating diseases, or may be of idiopathic origin. Their importance is explained by the fact that TN may represent the first manifestation of tumor disease, or of relapse in patients with prior neoplastic processes. As such, these manifestations are ominous, and patient life expectancy is often short. The clinical exploration reveals a loss of sensitivity in the cutaneous territory corresponding to the affected nerve, which can be partial (hypoesthesia) or complete (anesthesia). The sensory defect is occasionally associated with hyperesthesia (i.e., the patient suffers a decrease in sensory perception, but when sensation is perceived, it may cause considerable discomfort). Complementary studies are needed to establish the etiologic diagnosis, with laboratory tests to discard the possible causative diseases underlying the trigeminal neuropathy, and the opportune radiographic examinations in the form of plain X‐rays or a routine cranial computed tomography scan.
