Mandibular paresthesia secondary to cerebrovascular changes.

L W Nelson, W T Johnson, D A Blaha

    Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, and Oral Pathology
    |July 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare cerebrovascular accident (stroke) case presented with only mandibular paresthesia. Prompt diagnosis requires thorough medical, dental, and radiographic evaluation to identify stroke risk factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oral Medicine
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Cerebrovascular accidents (strokes) are a leading cause of disability.
    • Mandibular paresthesia, or numbness in the jaw, can have various causes.
    • Prompt diagnosis is crucial for effective stroke management.

    Observation:

    • This report details an unusual case where a cerebrovascular accident manifested solely as mandibular paresthesia.
    • The patient's primary symptom was a sensory deficit in the lower jaw, mimicking dental issues.

    Findings:

    • The differential diagnosis for inferior alveolar nerve paresthesia is explored, highlighting the importance of considering neurological causes.
    • A comprehensive medical and dental history, alongside clinical and radiographic examinations, is essential for accurate diagnosis.
    • The review covers the etiology and risk factors associated with cerebrovascular accidents.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for clinicians to consider cerebrovascular events in the differential diagnosis of isolated mandibular paresthesia.
    • Recognizing subtle neurological signs can lead to earlier stroke detection and intervention.
    • Understanding stroke risk factors is vital for both medical and dental professionals in patient assessment.
