Fw: Quiz Ans-What do you in LN and IAN

Hello,

I know it is a difficult case esp if you do not do much nerve imaging.

But it’s routine here at UTSW. All issues are on right side.

Lingual nerve – I had called injury class V. Surgeon called it 4/5 and he saw a lateral neuroma with mostly cut nerve after tooth extraction- post-repair, the nerve looks NS-RADS PI1- improved and near normal. Patient also recovering nicely and taste/sensation in tongue returning.

Interestingly- there is S1+ MRCS scale meaning close to numbness in jaw area post-surgery. Surgeon was baffled. Inf alv. nerve looked normal in pre-surgery and looks lacerated in the new one- NS-RADS I4. Bad for the patient.

Hope all is well at your end. I don’t like cold weather arriving in Tx. It’s been 50/30F since last few days.

See y’all in RSNA.
