Variations in the origin and course of the
inferior alveolar neurovascular bundleZeenat F. Zaidi1, Zeba Hanif2
ABSTRACT
The knowledge of the neurovascular relationships of the infratemporal region is of great interest for any surgical procedure in the area. The region contains important structures such as the mandibular nerve, the maxillary artery and the muscles of mastication. In this article we present a case of atypical origin and course of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and inferior alveolar artery (IAA).
