title: Mandibular paresthesia secondary to cerebrovascular changes.
abstract: An unusual case of mandibular paresthesia as the only presenting symptom of a cerebrovascular accident is presented. The differential diagnosis of inferior alveolar nerve paresthesia is discussed. Obtaining a definitive diagnosis depends on a thorough medical and dental history complemented by a complete clinical and radiographic examination. The etiology of cerebral vascular accidents is reviewed, as well as risk factors that may increase the possibility of a cerebrovascular accident.
