Abstract

Mental nerve neuropathy causes the "numb chin" syndrome and is usually associated with mandibular bone injury or disease in adults. It has been reported in adults during sickle cell crises. We describe a 15-year-old boy who developed bilateral mental nerve neuropathies during a sickle cell crisis. This case is unusual because of the simultaneous bilateral involvement and because of the age.

摘要

颏神经病变可导致“麻木颏部”综合征，在成人中通常与下颌骨损伤或疾病相关。在镰状细胞危象期间的成人中曾有过相关报道。我们描述了一名15岁男孩，他在镰状细胞危象期间出现双侧颏神经病变。该病例不同寻常，因为是双侧同时受累且患者年龄较小。
