“…The previous study reported the origin of the large CBs as from the superior segments of the cervical ST (20% from the superior cervical ganglion and 80% from the ST above the middle cervical ganglion) 1 . However, this study showed that these large CBs could also arise from the inferior segment of the cervical ST (21% from the middle sympathetic cervical ganglion and 6.25% from the stellate ganglion), as has also been mentioned by other authors 3–5 …”

“…Similarly, it is worth discussing a recently published study that described two cases of a double RILN, with one of the branches, the lateral one, connected to the superior sympathetic cervical ganglion or to the ST 18 . Based on our results and on the figures and descriptions provided by these authors, we consider that, in both cases, the second, lateral RILN (that had never previously been reported) was actually a large CB from the ST 1–5 …”

“…Such branches were the superior and middle sympathetic cardiac nerves, which may have a similar diameter to the RILN and may be confused with it. The superior sympathetic cardiac nerve has been reported as arising from the superior cervical ganglion and from the segment of the ST located between the superior and the middle cervical ganglia 3,4,25 . The middle sympathetic cardiac nerve has been described as arising from the middle cervical ganglion and from the segment of the ST located between the middle and the inferior cervical ganglia 3,4,25 .…”

1) The CB between the RILN and the ST may have a diameter and course similar to an NRILN and may be confused with it. 2) The occurrence of the CB is greater than the occurrence referred to in previous studies. 3) The occurrence of the CB is similar by side and sex. 4) The CB may arise at different levels from the cervical ST and ganglia and end in the thyroid area. 5) Other neural elements may also be confused with an RILN, such as the cardiac nerves and the collateral branches from an NRILN to the trachea and esophagus.

“…The VN is the longest nerve of the organism innervating all the digestive tract for some anatomists (Delmas & Laux, 1933). It is a mixed nerve composed of 80% afferent and 20% efferent fibers (Prechtl & Powley, 1990).…”

Is-there a place for vagus nerve stimulation in inflammatory bowel diseases?

The vagus nerve (VN), the longest nerve of the organism that innervates the gastrointestinal tract, is a mixed nerve composed of 80% of afferent and 20% of efferent fibers. The VN has anti-inflammatory properties, in particular an anti-TNFα effect through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. The VN is a key component of the autonomic nervous system, i.e. the parasympathetic nervous system. An imbalance of the autonomic nervous system, as represented by a low vagal tone, is described in many diseases and has a pro-inflammatory role. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic disorders of the gastro-intestinal tract where TNFα is a key cytokine. VN stimulation (VNS), classically used for the treatment of drug resistant epilepsy and depression, would be of interest in the treatment of IBD. We have recently reported in a 6 month follow-up pilot study that VNS improves active Crohn's disease. Preliminary data of another pilot study confirm this interest. Similarly, VNS has recently been reported to improve rheumatoid arthritis, another TNFα mediated disease. Bioelectronic Medicine, as represented by VNS, opens new therapeutic avenues in the treatment of such chronic inflammatory disorders. In the present manuscript, we will focus on the interest of VNS in IBD.

“…The SHP presents in its composition both sympathetic preganglionic fibers and pelvic afferent (related to pain) fibers (Wechsler et al, 1995;Wein et al, 2007). There is considerable confusion in the literature about the SHP as exemplified by its multiple names: (a) superior plexus of Hovelacque; (b) presacral nerve of Latarjet and Bonet; (c) inter-iliac plexus of Waldeyer; (d) lameliform fasciculus of Bourgery; and (e) bifurcated plexus of Mattuschka (Latarjet and Bonnet, 1913;Hovelacque, 1928;Delmas and Laux, 1933;Delmas, 1927Delmas, , 1952Rouvière, 1956;Paturet, 1964;Pérez-Casas and Bengoechea-González, 1977;Testut and Latarjet, 1979;Williams et al, 1995).…”

The developmental anatomy of the human superior hypogastric plexus: A morphometrical investigation with clinical and surgical correlations

et al. 2010

The superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) is the part of the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for the sympathetic innervation of pelvic organs and extrapelvic genitals in humans of both sexes. The SHP also functions as the anatomic pathway for the major part of visceral sensitive fibers originating from pelvic viscera. In this study, the morphology of the SHP was analyzed through anatomical dissections performed both in human adult and fetal cadavers. A computerized morphometrical investigation of the SHP was also performed and the resulting quantitative data statistically assessed. The comparison between fetal and adult SHP revealed that in the male group there was a developmental increase of six times (in height) and of about five times (in width); while in the female group, there was a developmental increase of 3.5 times both in height and width values. In addition, the distance from the superior border of the SHP to the bifurcation of the common iliac arteries presented a developmental increase of about six times in the male group, and about four times in the female group. We propose an original morphological classification with six types, based upon the anatomical arrangement of the nervous fibers in this autonomic plexus.
