Early Trifurcation of the Mandibular Branch of the Facial Nerve in a Cadaveric Specimen

Early Trifurcation of the Mandibular Branch of the Facial Nerve in a Cadaveric Specimen

Rare facial nerve branching patterns, pose dangers due to their unexpected course. Cases with multiple branches may reduce the intraoperative risk, due to the compensation of adjacent branches. We present a case of a cadaveric specimen where an early trifurcation of the mandibular branch of the faci...

Zusammenfassung:Rare facial nerve branching patterns, pose dangers due to their unexpected course. Cases with multiple branches may reduce the intraoperative risk, due to the compensation of adjacent branches. We present a case of a cadaveric specimen where an early trifurcation of the mandibular branch of the facial nerve was noted.
