Hemiparesthesia

*Hemiparestasis** is a neuropathology of the temporomandibular joint, in which there is a loss of sensitivity on one side of the face, which may be accompanied by numbness of the tongue, cheeks and lips. The term translates as “feeling of insufficiency”*.

*In the 20th century, surgeons William Stewart Caan and William Arlington Gaitink discovered a nerve that is a continuation of the inferior alveolar nerve, which passes along the maxillary branch of the trigeminal nerve through the temporomandibular ulcer and extends from the temporal to the pterygoid process.*

**Hemiparaalgia** is a neurological condition that causes pain and numbness on the right side of the face. This disease is quite common in middle-aged people based on an objective study of the patient’s diagnosis. Symptoms may appear as temporary, short-term sensations or even lead to permanent sensations. The reasons can be of various kinds: neurological injuries, vascular problems, headaches and consequences of dental treatment.

Hemiparesthesia in the patient's forehead is accompanied by pain in the temporal region, excruciating headaches, redness of the whites of the eyes, acute pain in the neck, and increased pulsation in the temples. It is also possible to lose balance due to dizziness. General symptoms of the disease indicate inflammation of the facial nerve and an allergic reaction.

As a rule, hemihyperesthesia occurs with a tumor in the pituitary gland of the brain, Quincke's tumor, malignant tumors of the central nervous system or peripheral nerves. Quite often, symptoms of inflammation appear if the disease is provoked by an acute infection of the genitourinary system.

It is not necessary to treat hemihydropestasis, since this problem in most cases is an independent syndrome without serious effects on health. Basically, the disease passes without obvious signs. Treatment affects the cause of the facial or trigeminal nerve damage. Recovery is possible only after complete elimination of pathological changes.
