AI Article Synopsis
- A case report highlights a rare incident of asystole (a lack of heart activity) that occurred while performing a surgical procedure called Le Fort I osteotomy on the maxilla (upper jaw).
- This situation demonstrates the potential complexities involved in dental and maxillofacial surgeries and how they can trigger specific reflexes.
- The trigeminovagal reflex, activated during manipulation of the maxilla, can lead to serious complications like asystole in extreme cases.
