A RARE CASE OF ACCESSORY NERVE TO MYLOHYOID COMMUNUCATING WITH LINGUAL NERVE AND ITS CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Nerve to mylohyoid is a branch of inferior alveolar nerve given just before it enters the mandibular foramen. It courses inferior to the origin of mylohyoid and supplies both mylohyoid and anterior belly of digastric along its superficial surface. An accessory branch from inferior alveolar nerve was discovered during routine dissection. The nerve was found only on the left side. Additionally, a communicating branch was seen between lingual nerve and accesoory nerve to mylohyoid. Knowledge of the variations of the mandibular nerve, its branches and communications are clinically important especially for attaining adequate local anaesthesia during routine oral and dental procedures.
