Abstract
Hypoglossal nerve injury is a known complication of oral intubation, otolaryngology procedures, and trauma. More rarely, hypoglossal nerve injury has been described as a complication of dental procedures. While iatrogenic damage to the inferior alveolar nerve has been extensively described in the oral and maxillofacial surgery literature, a paucity of literature can be found related to 12th cranial nerve complications. This case report aims to describe a case presenting to our office and the available treatment for patients suffering from this pathology.
期刊介绍:
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
