Oral-pharyngeal reflexes demonstrate a wide range of complexities due to their intricate synaptic pattern. Most of the reflexes are protective in nature such as preventing aspiration. These reflexes in oral cavity affect the muscles and can be evoked either in isolation or in combination in order to achieve a specific response. Certain sensory inputs induce an entire motor behavior pattern as seen in lingual hypoglossal reflex.
A case report depicting this reflex have been presented. To our knowledge, this is the first case documented in a living human. Along with this, cadaveric studies have been also done in fifteen specimens.
Extralingual anastomosis between lingual nerve and hypoglossal nerve were found in six specimens.
Hereby, we present a clinical paper of this unusual phenomenon which has not been documented in the literature.
由于其复杂的突触模式,口咽反射表现出广泛的复杂性。大多数反射本质上具有保护作用,例如防止误吸。口腔中的这些反射会影响肌肉,并且可以单独或组合诱发,以实现特定反应。某些感觉输入会诱发整个运动行为模式,如舌舌下反射所见。
已呈现一份描述此反射的病例报告。据我们所知,这是有记录的首例活体人类病例。与此同时,还对15个标本进行了尸体研究。
在6个标本中发现了舌神经与舌下神经之间的舌外吻合。
在此,我们发表一篇关于这一未在文献中记载的异常现象的临床论文。
