OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Management of unrecognized recurrent laryngeal nerve injury typically entails delayed phonosurgical intervention and laryngeal reinnervation, but in cases of recognized injury, nerve anastomosis has been considered standard management. However, the well-organized outcome analysis of nerve anastomosis has been insufficient. We performed immediate direct anastomosis of recur...

BACKGROUND Variations of the brachial plexus are common and a better awareness of the variations is of crucial importance to achieve successful results in its surgical procedures. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anatomical variations of the brachial plexus in adult cadavers. METHODS Bilateral upper limbs of 32 fresh cadavers (21 males and 11 females) consecutively referred to...

The fifth and greatest cranial nerve, the trigeminal nerve (V), is in charge of detecting sensory inputs that come from craniofacial region. ganglia house cell bodies three branches nerve: ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), mandibular (V3). These connect to second-order neurons brainstem nuclear complex. Trigeminal neuralgia one most prevalent types facial discomfort. characterized by abrupt, fle...

introduction: intraparotid neurofibromas of the facial nerve are extremely rare and mostly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (nf1). case report: this is a case of a healthy 40-year-old man, which underwent surgery for a preoperatively diagnosed benign parotid gland lesion. after identification of the facial nerve main trunk, a single large mass (6 x 3 cm) incorporating the upper nerve di...

We perform the analytic classification of plane branches of multiplicity less or equal than four. This is achieved by computing a Standard basis for the modules of Kähler differentials of such branches by means of the algorithm we developed in [9] and then applying the classification method for plane branches presented in [10]. Subject classification: Primary 14H20; Secondary 14Q05, 14Q20, 32S10

The effects of transplanted embryonic spinal tissue on host motor nerve regeneration and target muscle reinervation were investigated in severed sciatic nerves of rats. The electromyogram (EMG) responses and number of motor end plates (MEP) in target muscles, number of nerve axons, and retrogradely labeled motor neurons were examined in transplantation-, anastomosis without transplantation-, an...
