Abstract:
We report a rare case of trigeminovagal reflex (TVR) resulting from stimulation of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve under general anesthesia. Although general anesthesia reportedly prevents TVR, it should be part of the differential diagnosis in all cases of unexplained sinus arrest during oral and maxillofacial surgery.
