Example text
The cervical sympathetic chain is located lateral to the anterior spinal ligament. Occasionally, the thorascopist confuses the ligament with the chain, and will not perform a cervical sympathectomy. The nerve of Kuntz is a highly variable anatomic entity within the upper thorax. It is located between the root of the first thoracic and the second thoracic intercostal nerves. 78,79 Cervical Plexus The cervical plexus (Fig. 1-46) is formed by the anterior divisions of the spinal nerves C1-C4 and is located between the middle scalenus muscle and the levator scapula.
38 Spaces above the Hyoid Bone Intrafascial spaces are formed by splitting of the several fascial layers of the neck. The spaces are those related to the body of the mandible, and the submaxillary, parotid, and masticator spaces. Peripharyngeal spaces include the retropharyngeal, lateral pharyngeal, and submandibular spaces. Buser and Bart39 studied the normal anatomy of the retropharyngeal space (Fig. 1-27): this involves the posterior neck in toto from the base of the skull to the level of T1, T2 in the upper mediastinum in front of the prevertebral fascia and behind the buccopharyngeal or visceral fascia.
Post-stenotic dilatation of the subclavian artery can be associated with the development of thrombi. These thrombi, discharged distally into the artery, can produce confusing symptoms similar to carpal tunnel entrapment of the median nerve. Sanders and Pearce32 observed that 86% of patients suffering from thoracic outlet syndrome had a history of some form of cervical trauma, especially whiplash injuries. In such individuals, scalenectomy is preferable to resection of the first rib. Accessory scalene musculature, fascial bands, or an atypical 7th cervical rib can, variably, compress the artery, the nerves, or both.
