title: [An anatomic variant of the inferior alveolar nerve in man].
abstract: In one of 13 human heads, the right mandibular nerve showed the following anomalies: (1) A prominent anastomosis between the auriculotemporal nerve and the inferior alveolar nerve; (2) a delicate anastomosis between the madibular nerve and the aforementioned connection; and (3) a nervous connection between the inferior alveolar nerve and the lingual nerve. Moreover, the auriculotemporal nerve was unusually thick. The branches of the left mandibular nerve appeared normal.
