    <abstract locale="en_US">The mandibular canal and the mental foramina are constant structures that remain largely bilaterally 
symmetrical except for variations in shape and size within certain limits. Structural alterations 
such as enlargement of mental foramen and the mandibular canal are rare and usually recorded as 
incidental finding on plain radiographs. This enlargement may be associated with multiple factors. 
We present a unique case of bilateral wide mental foramina with enlarged mandibular canal in a 
56-year-old asymptomatic male. 
Keywords: Mental foramen; Anatomical variation; Mandibular canal; Cone beam computed
tomography (CBCT); Nerve enlargement.</abstract>
