Abstract
Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) is a type of surgical intervention to correct a transverse maxillary deficiency in skeletally mature patients. Complications associated with SARPE can be divided into intraoperative complications such as hemorrhage, or postoperative complications that are associated with inadequate suture release. We present a case of a twenty-four year old female patient who reported a left-sided lingual anesthesia following the surgery. We hypothesized the cause to be related to peri-operative hematoma formation at the left maxillary region. Patient was managed conservatively, followed up periodically for three months and showed gradual improvement and complete recovery.
期刊介绍：
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
