About Vicharn Lipisuwanchote Expertise I am a medical student. I am interested in neurosurgery, so any questions related to neurosurgery are welcome. I will look it up for you if I do not know the answer.
Question Everyday at various times I have a numbness around my mouth and left jaw area. It even feels as though my teeth and lips are envolved. When I chew gum, it goes away. None of my Drs know what this is.
Answer your symptoms maybe explained by isolated trigeminal nerve palsy.intermittent course tells that maybe it a vascular compression.but this shouldn't happen to this nerve since it's a big berve.
it's not a serious condition, so if it doesn't annoy you to much, no need more evaluation.if so, ask for brain imaging.surgery might resolve this.
