目的 目的是引起人们的注意并回顾有关解剖变异的文献：下颌管裂。方法 对文献进行回顾总结。此外，还记录了单侧下颌管分叉患者的临床和放射学检查结果。结果 下颌管裂可以在全景 X 光片上检测到。垂直于牙槽嵴的横截面 CT 图像可以显示有关牙根管走向的更精确信息。结论 下颌管裂通常未被识别。由于其临床意义，检测这些解剖变异非常重要。涉及下颌的外科手术必须特别注意。
OBJECTIVES The objective is to call attention to and to review the literature of the anatomical variation: bifid mandibular canal. METHODS A review of the literature is summarized. Additionally, the clinical and radiographic findings of a patient who presented a unilateral bifid mandibular canal are recorded. RESULTS Bifid mandibular canals can be detected on a panoramic radiograph. More precise information about the course of the canal can be revealed on cross sectional CT images perpendicular to the alveolar ridge. CONCLUSIONS Bifid mandibular canals are often unrecognized. The detection of these anatomical variations is important because of its clinical implications. Special attention has to be paid in surgical procedures involving the lower jaw.
