Interesting findings of “Novel Aberrant Mandibular Angle Foramen: A novel Aberrancy mimicking mandibular angle fracture”

Abstract

Variations in Inferior Alveolar Nerve branching are reported ranging from bi to trifurcation and from unilateral to bilateral in the mandible. The extra branch or branches of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve end up within the mandible. Here we add one more variation of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve in which the extra branch exits outside the mandible on the lateral aspect of the angle via Novel Aberrant Mandibular Angle Foramen.
