Temporal fossa Puns

Hello folks,

I'm yet to see neurologist (out of country) and wanted to get some info on my report, which says: possible arachnoid cyst left temporal fossa 1x1.9cm, increased grooves/cortical space on front and rear (translated best I could)

Can someone tell me, what do they see? Why is there so much white space on front? Do I have underdeveloped pre-frontal cortex?

Also, can this cyst pressure local tissue and cause neurological issues?

Thanks a lot!

The five branches of the facial nerve are responsible for the functions of the eyes and face. Each of them carries a variety of different types of nerve fibers. Most contain motor fibers, but some contain a mixture of both types. The five CNs, T, I, III, IV, V, and X, are essential for the function of the nose and the external auditory meatus. They are also the primary source of pain and numbness in the face.

The motor part of the facial nerve arises from the pons, and the sensory part of the nerve comes from the intermediate nerve and the parotid gland. The two parts of the nerve merge at the brain stem. Then, the entire nervous system travels through the posterior cranial fossa and the petrous temporal bone. The facial canal is a large, tortuous structure that separates the two parts of the facial nerve.

The facial nerve begins in the brainstem pons, where it emerges as two separate roots. The first root reaches the inner ear and synapses on the geniculate ganglion. The second root, called the greater petrosal nerve, carries the sympathetic postganglionic fibers from the superior cervical ganglion. The third branch, the pterygoid canal, supplies innervation to the pharyngeal muscles of the face.

The fifth branch, the stylohyoid nerve, travels medial to the incus and connects to the geniculum, the chorda tympani, and the lacrimal gland. The vestibulocochlear nerve's fifth branch enters the skull and passes through the internal acoustic meatus. A portion of the auricular nerve branches is attached to the jugular foramen.

There are five branches of the facial nerve, each containing a combination of motor, sensory, and parasympathetic fibers. These limbs of the facial nerve are located in the face and head.

The most common branch, the cervical nerve, provides innervation to the lower part of the tongue. The fifth branch, the stylohyoid nerve, supplies sensation and movement to the facial muscles and glands.

Three branches of the facial nerve lead to the face's various parts, and The greater petrosal nerve gives rise to the motor and parasympathetic fibers of the stapedius muscle in the middle ear. The chorda tympani branch carries sensory fibers from the front part of the tongue and reaches the auricle. The three auricular branches of the facial nerve have one anastomosing arterial cascade. It also joins the facial nerve distal to the stapedius muscle.

The fifth and final branch of the facial nerve is the cervical nerve. It innervates the ear and most

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

And boy are my arms legs.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Hello all, I have been dealing with TMD for about 5 years now. I believe it all started after going through braces/rubber bands as a teenager and when they tried to correct my bite. I deal with clicking, popping, weird sounds like grinding or crunching, and lots of constant pain and headaches, all mainly on my left TMJ. I first went to an oral surgeon last year to finally deal with this issue as it was getting to a point where I could hardly eat anything due to not being able to open my mouth all the way. They immediately recommended a TMJ discoplasty to reposition my disc which is anteriorly displaced. I didn't feel right about going straight to surgery so I got a second opinion and that Dr referred me to an orofacial pain/tmj specialist. For the past year we've tried numerous conservative treatments, such as anti-inflammatories, a steroid injection in the left joint, a custom fitted night guard (which I've given up on as it never helped) and several months of physical therapy. While the PT helped a bit with my neck and shoulder pains, it didn't do much for my TMJ. The therapist taught me a different way of opening my mouth to avoid the popping, but it strains my facial muscles too much and isn't natural for me when eating/talking/yawning etc. So tomorrow I go back to see my specialist, as the pain has gotten much worse in the past couple months. It feels like the joint is bone on bone but I can't be sure. I've included my MRI report from over a year ago when I first started seeing the specialist, and I feel like it's probably gotten much worse since then. I also had a CT from last year that showed mild arthritis in the left joint and the condyle seems to be somewhat smaller than the other side. I'm thinking about doing surgery at this point because I don't know what else I can do. Anyone out there with a similar situation?? Has surgery helped anyone here with this situation? I've heard the surgery is very risky and often doesn't work or the issue comes back. Thanks for reading.

RIGHT TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT: Unremarkable mandibular condyle with normal bone marrow signal intensity. No gross joint effusion. In the closed-mouth position the mandibular condyle is normally positioned within the mandibular fossa. There is evidence for compression of the posterior band of the intra-articular disc which appears mildly anteriorly subluxed, similar comparing with the contralateral side. Limited anterior-inferior translation of the mandibular condyle is demonstra

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

At work, I have a workstation.
