“…The anterior divisions from the upper and middle trunks, the posterior divisions from the upper, middle, and lower trunks, and the anterior divisions of the lower trunk will reunite to form the lateral, posterior, and medial cords around the axillary artery, respectively. After passing the lateral border of the pectoralis minor muscle, these cords are separated into five terminal branches (7). …”

“…Cutaneous branches innervate the skin surrounding the auricle (greater auricular but lesser occipital nerves), neck, and clavicle (transverse cervical and supraclavicular nerves). Muscular branches innervate the infrahyoid muscles (except for the thyrohyoid muscle) and the diaphragm (phrenic nerve) (7). Axial T1-, T2-, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images of thin slices (< 3-mm in thickness/no gap) should be used to find their locations due to the small diameter of the branches from the cervical plexus and accompanying venules or arterioles.…”

“…Arising from the ventral rami of C2 and C3, it goes to the posterior edge of the SCM. After wrapping around the edge of the SCM, it ascends on the outer surface of the muscle beneath the platysma after perforating the deep cervical fascia (7). After passing to the parotid gland, it is divided into two branches innervating the facial skin over the parotid gland (“anterior branch”) and the skin over the mastoid process on the back of the auricle (“posterior branch”) (Figs.…”

High-resolution Imaging of Neural Anatomy and Pathology of the Neck

et al. 2017

The neck has intricately connected neural structures, including cervical and brachial plexi, the sympathetic system, lower cranial nerves, and their branches. Except for brachial plexus, there has been little research regarding the normal imaging appearance or corresponding pathologies of neural structures in the neck. The development in imaging techniques with better spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio has made it possible to see many tiny nerves to predict complications related to image-guided procedures and to better assess treatment response, especially in the management of oncology patients. The purposes of this review is to present imaging-based anatomy of major nerves in the neck and explain their relevant clinical significance according to representative pathologies of regarded nerves in the neck.

Current understanding on the mechanisms of brain injury and neurodegeneration highlights an appreciation of multicellular interactions within the neurovascular unit (NVU), which include the evolution of blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage, neuronal cell death or degeneration, glial reaction, and immune cell infiltration. Aging is an important factor that influences the integrity of the NVU. The age-related physiological or pathological changes in the cellular components of the NVU have been shown to increase the vulnerability of the NVU to ischemia/reperfusion injury or neurodegeneration, and to result in deteriorated brain damage. This review describes the impacts of aging on each NVU component and discusses the mechanisms by which aging increases NVU sensitivity to stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Prophylactic or therapeutic perspectives that may delay or diminish aging and thus prevent the incidence of these neurological disorders will also be reviewed.

Gasperini Syndrome: A Case Report and Systematic Review and Proposing a New Definition

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Gasperini syndrome (GS), a rare brainstem syndrome, is featured by ipsilateral cranial nerves (CN) V–VIII dysfunction with contralateral hemibody hypoesthesia. While there have been 18 reported cases, the GS definition remains ambiguous. We report a new case and reviewed the clinical features of this syndrome from all published reports to propose a new definition. A 57-year-old man with acute brainstem stroke had right CN V–VIII and XII palsies, left body hypoesthesia and ataxia. Brain MRI showed an acute stroke in the right caudal pons and bilateral cerebellum. After a systematic review, we classified the clinical manifestations into core and associate features based on the frequencies of occurring neurological deficits. We propose that a definitive GS requires the presence of ipsilateral CN VI and VII palsies, plus one or more of the other three core features (ipsilateral CN V, VIII palsies and contralateral hemibody hemihypalgesia). Additionally, GS, similar to Wallenberg’s syndrome, represents a spectrum that can have other associated neurological features. The revised definition presented in this study may enlighten physicians with the immediate recognition of the syndrome and help improve clinical localization of the lesions and its management.
