The corneomandibular reflex.

R M Gordon, M B Bender

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |June 1, 1971

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A prominent corneomandibular reflex in patients indicates severe brain disease, particularly affecting the corticobulbar system. This reflex may signal neurological dysfunction in severe cerebral or brain-stem conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • The corneomandibular reflex is a known neurological response.
    • Its clinical significance in severe brain disease requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between a prominent corneomandibular reflex and severe neurological conditions.
    • To explore the corneomandibular reflex as a potential indicator of corticobulbar system dysfunction.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series presentation of patients exhibiting the corneomandibular reflex.
    • Clinical assessment of neurological status and consciousness levels in observed patients.

    Main Results:

    • Seven patients with severe cerebral and/or brain-stem disease showed a prominent corneomandibular reflex.

  • Two patients with less consistent reflexes had bulbar amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or no brain disease.
  • A prominent reflex suggests an exaggeration of the normal response.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prominent corneomandibular reflex hyper-reflexia may indicate corticobulbar system disease.
    • This reflex can serve as a potential biomarker for severe neurological impairment.
