The cervical plexus has two types of branches: cutaneous and muscular. [3] Cutaneous (4 branches): Lesser occipital nerve - innervates the skin and the scalp posterosuperior to the auricle (C2) Great auricular nerve - innervates skin near concha auricle and external acoustic meatus (C2-C3)
The stellate ganglia may be cut in order to decrease the symptoms exhibited by Raynaud's phenomenon and hyperhydrosis (extreme sweating) of the hands. Injection of local anesthetics near the stellate ganglion can sometimes mitigate the symptoms of sympathetically mediated pain such as complex regional pain syndrome type I (reflex sympathetic dystrophy), and symptoms associated with alterations ...
The ansa cervicalis (or ansa hypoglossi in older literature [citation needed]) is a loop formed by muscular branches of the cervical plexus formed by branches of cervical spinal nerves C1-C3. The ansa cervicalis has two roots - a superior root (formed by branch of C1) and an inferior root (formed by union of branches of C2 and C3) - that unite ...
All of the infrahyoid muscles are innervated by the ansa cervicalis from the cervical plexus (C1-C3) [4] [5] except the thyrohyoid muscle, which is innervated by fibers only from the first cervical spinal nerve travelling with the hypoglossal nerve.
The transverse cervical nerve (superficial cervical or cutaneous cervical) is a cutaneous (sensory) nerve of the cervical plexus that arises from the second and third cervical spinal nerves (C2-C3). It curves around the posterior border of the sternocleidomastoideus muscle , then pierces the fascia of the neck before dividing into two branches.
The cervical branch of the facial nerve is a branch of the facial nerve (VII). It runs forward beneath the platysma muscle, and forms a series of arches across the side of the neck over the suprahyoid region. One branch descends to join the cervical cutaneous nerve from the cervical plexus.
Mia Donahue Sjöman knew that having a baby might be challenging after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2013. "I had a large, cancerous mass behind my cervix, so I had to have a surgery ...
Cervical cancer is the 12th-most common cancer in women in the UK (around 3,100 women were diagnosed with the disease in 2011), and accounts for 1% of cancer deaths (around 920 died in 2012). [148] With a 42% reduction from 1988 to 1997, the NHS-implemented screening programme has been highly successful, screening the highest-risk age group (25 ...
