[Lingual nerve paresis following tonsillectomy: objective assessment by means of trigemino-facial reflexes (author's transl)].
A case of lingual nerve paresis following tonsillectomy is reported. As in all sensory disorders, assessment can be limited by the lack of objective procedures available. However, with lingual nerve involvement, electromyographic recording of trigemino-facial reflexes can be useful in determining causes of injury.
