Background: The present systematic review intended to evaluate the current evidence on the modalities used for treating iatrogenic late paresthesia in the oral tissues innervated by the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve.
Main Text: As a common side effect of dental procedures, paresthesia can exert a profound adverse effect on patients' quality of life. The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and lingual nerve (LN) have the highest chance of injury during several dental procedures, including mandibular orthognathic surgeries, implant placement, extraction of the third molar, anesthetic injections, flap elevation, and endodontic treatments. Moreover, several methods have been proposed for treating iatrogenic late paresthesia, including photobiomodulation (PBM), microsurgery, medication, and close observation until achieving spontaneous recovery of sensation. However, no gold standard treatment for iatrogenic paresthesia has been agreed upon up to now. The present study included a comprehensive search of the databases of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science up to December 04, 2023, resulting in a total of 3122 related studies. Then, the titles, abstracts, and full texts of the studies were evaluated. Ultimately, seven controlled randomized trials (RCTs) were included in the final analysis. Also, the risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist. Among all fields, randomization, allocation concealment, and data analysis were found to have the highest chance of bias in the included studies.
Conclusions: In conclusion, PBM, vitamin B12, and corticosteroids could accelerate the recovery of late paresthesia. However, considering the low sample size of the included studies and the high risk of methodological bias, it is recommended to perform further RCTs with robust study designs following Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines to achieve more reliable results.

A 70-year-old female underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of her right ankle following a mechanical trip and fell two weeks before hospital admission. Two weeks following surgery, the patient experienced sudden-onset bilateral anterior thigh paresthesias and burning mid-back pain. Over the ensuing two days, the patient developed bilateral lower extremity weakness, bilateral lower extremity numbness, and urinary retention with constipation, which led to hospital presentation.

Background: The treatment of nonsaphenous varicose veins (NSVV), including incompetent perforating veins (IPV) and recurrent varicose veins (RVV), remains challenging for many reasons, including vein tortuosity, deep location and short vein to be treated. Data and recommendations are lacking. Steam vein sclerosis (SVS) is an endothermal therapy that has been used in the treatment of incompetent saphenous veins, achieving occlusion rates similar to other thermal ablation techniques with good patient tolerance and minimal postoperative pain.

Schwannoma in the popliteal fossa is still rare, often diagnosed late because it grows slowly and has no symptoms. It is often misdiagnosed with connective tissue tumors or with neurological disorders originating in the spine or disorders of the peroneal nerve. Schwannoma within the common peroneal nerve is still rare in the popliteal fossa, with most tumor sizes around 2 cm in diameter due to their smaller size of nerve but can cause neurologic disturbance, especially when it is large.
