Simultaneous paresthesia of the lingual nerve and inferior alveolar nerve caused by a radicular cyst

J Endod. 2005 Oct;31(10):764-6. doi: 10.1097/01.don.0000158011.64829.7b.

Abstract

The inferior alveolar nerve is sometimes affected by periapical pathoses and mandibular cysts. However, mandibular intraosseous lesions have not been reported to disturb the lingual nerve. A case of simultaneous paresthesia of the right lingual nerve and the right inferior alveolar nerve is presented. The possible mechanisms of this extremely uncommon condition are discussed.
