  • Title: Focal atrophy of the unilateral masticatory muscles caused by pure trigeminal motor neuropathy: case report.
    Author: Kämppi A, Kämppi L, Kemppainen P, Kanerva M, Toppila J, Auranen M.
    Journal: Clin Case Rep; 2018 May; 6(5):939-943. PubMed ID: 29744092.
    Abstract:
    Patients with unknown clinical or radiological asymmetry in the face structures combined with atrophy and weakness of the masticatory muscles should be comprehensively examined clinically and with MRI, neurophysiological measurements, and serologically. Malignant lesions or benign idiopathic unilateral trigeminal motor neuropathy should be considered as an etiological explanation for the asymmetry.
