The sudden onset of paraesthesia in the distribution of the mental nerve should be regarded as an ominous symptom. It is usually related to events such as fractures or dentoalveolar surgery, but in the absence of such history this finding should be regarded with suspicion. Four case studies are presented in which the patient presented with unexplained mental paraesthesia, which were later related to metastatic malignant disease. Careful medical history is required to alert the clinician to appropriate diagnostic procedures and ensure correct management.
颏神经分布区域突然出现感觉异常应被视为一种不祥的症状。它通常与骨折或牙槽外科手术等事件有关，但在没有此类病史的情况下，这一发现应引起怀疑。本文介绍了四个病例研究，患者出现不明原因的颏部感觉异常，后来发现与转移性恶性疾病有关。需要仔细询问病史，以提醒临床医生采取适当的诊断程序并确保正确的治疗。
