Introduction The venous drainage of head and neck is divided into superficial and deep jugular systems. The deep jugular system consists of internal jugular vein and the superficial system consists of external and anterior jugular vein. External jugular vein is formed by the union of the posterior division of retromandibular vein and the posterior auricular vein below the ear in the substance o...

Injury to the spinal accessory nerve in the posterior triangle of the neck results in trapezius paralysis and shoulder dysfunction. The most common etiology is iatrogenic and has been reported extensively in adults. We report 3 cases of spinal accessory nerve injury recognized postoperatively in children and discuss the microsurgical treatment, results, and simple strategies to avoid this compl...

Fibromatosis is a locally infiltrative fibrous tissue proliferation with a tendency to recur locally. From a large series of head and neck patients treated between 1977 and 1994 in our institute, we retrieved the records of nine adult patients diagnosed with this disease. They serve as examples to demonstrate this rare entity in the head and neck. Five out of nine lesions were localized in leve...

Background: The ideal teeth arrangement is an important step for success in complete denture fabrication. There are different methods for determining the posterior denture teeth location. The purpose of this study was the comparison of posterior mandibular teeth location in the study group with Pound or Misch theory. Material and methods: An alginate mandibular impression of 80 dentate patients...

OBJECTIVE Despite a reduction in the incidence, deep-neck space infections are still seen today with definite potential for significant morbidity and even mortality. DESIGN The authors present their experience in the management of 16 patients with 19 deep-neck space abscesses. The distribution of the abscesses were: 5 Ludwig's angina, 4 parapharyngeal abscesses, 3 retropharyngeal abscesses, 3...

Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that can be observed all over the body. In total, 25% of lipomas are observed in the head and neck region, and most of them are located in the posterior cervical triangle. Lipomas that are greater than 10 cm in width or more than 1000 g in weight are called giant tumors. Cervico-thoracic lipomas are extremely rare, and only four cases have been reported in ...

The rare processes K → πνν̄ and KL → π νν̄ play an outstanding role in the field of flavorchanging-neutral-current transitions. The main reason for this is their unmatched theoretical cleanness and their large sensitivity to short-distance (SD) effects arising in the standard model (SM) and its innumerable extensions. As they offer a precise determination of the unitarity triangle (UT) , a compar...

PURPOSE To define the normal CT anatomy of the levator scapulae muscle and to report on a series of five patients who presented with a palpable mass in the posterior triangle due to asymmetry of the levator scapulae muscles. PATIENTS AND METHODS The contrast-enhanced CT examinations of the neck in 25 patients without palpable masses were reviewed to establish the normal CT appearance of the l...
