Schwannomatosis of Cervical Vagus Nerve
Cervical vagal schwannoma is a rare entity among lesions presenting as a neck mass. They are usually slow-growing benign lesions closely associated with the vagus nerve. They are usually solitary and asymptomatic. Multiple schwannomas occurring in patients without neurofibromatosis (NF) are rare and have recently been referred to as schwannomatosis. Here, we present a case of a neck mass that h...
متن کاملToward a Selective, Reversible Optigenetic Block of Peripheral Nerve Conduction
As much as 8% of the general population suffers from chronic pain of a neuropathic origin. Peripheral neuropathic pain arises from damage to peripheral sensory nerves. Hypersensitization and increased spontaneous signaling in pain fibers have been shown to occur in damaged afferent nerves, resulting in episodes of chronic, persistent pain in absence of actual nociceptive stimuli. Small, unmyeli...
متن کاملAlternative Paradigm of Selective Vagus Nerve Stimulation Tested on an Isolated Porcine Vagus Nerve
Alternative paradigm for spatial and fibre-type selective vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) was developed using realistic structural topography and tested in an isolated segment of a porcine cervical left vagus nerve (LVN). A spiral cuff (cuff) containing a matrix of ninety-nine electrodes was developed for selective VNS. A quasitrapezoidal stimulating pulse (stimulus) was applied to the LVN via an...
متن کاملPeripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor of Cervical Vagus Nerve
Case history: A 45-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital with painless swelling on left side of neck. She had been aware of the swelling for the last eight months which was gradually increasing in size. Initial examination revealed an evident swelling with smooth contour on left side of neck. No sign of inflammation of overlying skin was noted. On palpation, it was non-pulsatile,...
