I don’t favor DNET

Ganglioglioma good for d/dx.  Is CT avail?  Ca++ or hem.

If it is a glioma, not a typical low grade astrocytoma.  Doesn’t quite look like a (rare) supratentorial JPA, and he’s 35….So anaplastic astrocytoma (grade II-III) considerations

Any demographics that might warrant non-neoplastic considerations?

Hello,

 

Dr. Tirman answered class IV vs class V injury of lingual nerve, which is great as this kind of imaging is not done everywhere.

 

Here’s the complete ans..

 

Case 1- class V lingual

Case 2- class IV lingual

Case 3- class III long buccal nerve

 

-all three nerves injured in isolation with other nerves in the vicinity incl. inferior alv nerve being normal.

 

The expert surgeon based on the clinical exam and neurosensory testing expected class IV in all three nerves but correctly identified clinically, the particular nerve which was injured.

 

Two of them have tongue atrophy clinically – case 1 and 2.

 

Chance of recovery with class 4/5-poor to none without surgery

 

Class 3- partial recovery but since there is persistent pain- will undergo neurolysis surgery of LBN.

 

Best!
