The infraorbital nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of the lower eyelid, [2] the side of the nose, [2] the moveable part of nasal septum, [citation needed] the anterior cheek, [citation needed] and part of the upper lip. [2] It does not provide motor supply to any muscles. [citation needed]
Paresthesia is a sensation of the skin that may feel like numbness (technically called hypoesthesia), tingling, pricking, chilling, or burning. [1] It can be temporary or chronic and has many possible underlying causes. [1] Paresthesia is usually painless and can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly in the arms and legs. [1]
Ulnar neuropathy may be caused by entrapment of the ulnar nerve with resultant numbness and tingling. [3] It may also cause weakness or paralysis of the muscles supplied by the nerve. Ulnar neuropathy may affect the elbow as cubital tunnel syndrome. At the wrist a similar neuropathy is ulnar tunnel syndrome. [4]
Peripheral neuropathy may be classified according to the number and distribution of nerves affected (mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, or polyneuropathy), the type of nerve fiber predominantly affected (motor, sensory, autonomic), or the process affecting the nerves; e.g., inflammation (), compression (compression neuropathy), chemotherapy ([[chemother completion.

Within the spinal trigeminal nucleus, information is represented in a layered, or "onion-skin" fashion. The lowest levels of the nucleus (in the upper cervical cord and lower medulla) represent peripheral areas of the face (the scalp, ears and chin). Higher levels (in the upper medulla) represent central areas (nose, cheeks and lips).
Its fibers converge, to be inserted into the muscular substance of the upper lip between the angular head and the levator anguli oris. The lateral fibers, forming the zygomatic head (also known as the zygomaticus minor muscle [ 3 ] ) arise from the malar surface of the zygomatic bone immediately behind the zygomaticomaxillary suture and pass ...
Notalgia paresthetica is a common localized itch, affecting mainly the area between the shoulder blades (especially the T2–T6 dermatomes) but occasionally with a more widespread distribution, involving the shoulders, back, and upper chest.
