  2. Supratrochlear nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supratrochlear_nerve

    The supratrochlear nerve passes medially [3] above the trochlea of the superior oblique muscle. [2] [3] It then travels anteriorly above the levator palpebrae superioris muscle. [1] It exits the orbit through the supratrochlear notch or foramen. [3] It then ascends onto the forehead beneath the corrugator supercilii muscle and frontalis muscle ...

  3. Corrugator supercilii muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugator_supercilii_muscle

    The muscle acts in tandem with the orbicularis oculi muscle.The corrugator supercilii muscle acts upon the skin of the forehead superior to the middle of the supraorbital margin, [1] drawing the eyebrow inferomedially to produce vertical wrinkles of the forehead [3] just superior to the nose. [1]

  4. Thoracic outlet syndrome - Wikipedia

    The neurogenic type is the most common and presents with pain, weakness, paraesthesia, and occasionally loss of muscle at the base of the thumb. [1] [2] The venous type results in swelling, pain, and possibly a bluish coloration of the arm. [2] The arterial type results in pain, coldness, and pallor of the arm. [2]

  5. Bronchoconstriction - Wikipedia

    It is also preferred due to the former term giving the false impression that asthma is caused by exercise. In a patient with EIB, exercise initially follows the normal patterns of bronchodilation. However, by three minutes, the constriction sets in, which peaks at around 10–15 minutes, and usually resolves itself by an hour.

    [8] [9] The suggestion is that for a child being exposed to microbes early in life, taking fewer antibiotics, living in a large family, and growing up in the country stimulate the T H 1 response and reduce the odds of developing asthma. [10] Asthma is associated with a procoagulant state in the bronchoalveolar space. [11]

  7. Bronchospasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchospasm

    Bronchospasm or a bronchial spasm is a sudden constriction of the muscles in the walls of the bronchioles.It is caused by the release (degranulation) of substances from mast cells or basophils under the influence of anaphylatoxins.

  8. Small fiber neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_fiber_neuropathy

    The combination of increased pain signaling, and degeneration of pain-transmitting fibers, leads to a variable condition with signs and symptoms that can both vary and change over time. SCN9A gene mutations have been found in approximately 30 percent of individuals with small fiber neuropathy; SCN10A gene mutations are responsible for about 5 ...

  9. Frontal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_nerve

    The frontal nerve is a branch of the ophthalmic nerve (V 1), itself a branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V). [1] The frontal nerve branches immediately before entering the superior orbital fissure . In then travels superolateral to the annulus of Zinn between the lacrimal nerve and inferior ophthalmic vein .
