INFERIOR CERVICAL GANGLION AND STELLATE GANGLION- CONCEPTS REVISITED

Cervical sympathetic and stellate ganglion blocks.

Sympathetic blocks in the cervical and upper thoracic region are commonly used techniques for a variety of diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic purposes. Stellate ganglion block is the common nomenclature utilized, however, stellate ganglion is present in only 80% of the population, thus, either lower cervical sympathetic block or upper thoracic sympathetic block is an appropriate term. The c...

[Complication belong to stellate ganglion blockade after cervical trauma].

Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is one of the most often used sympathetic blockade procedure. Despite performed by experienced physicians some complications may occur. The right brachial plexus injury was diagnosed in the patient who admitted to orthopedia clinic, with weakness in the right arm, and pain after motor vehicle accident. There was no response to medical treatment of fortyfour-years-o...

Stellate ganglion block in glaucoma.

Stellate ganglion blockade-techniques and modalities.

Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is utilized in the diagnosis and management of various vascular disorders and sympathetically mediated pain in upper extremity, head and neck. The stellate ganglion lies medial to the scalene muscles, lateral to longus coli muscle, esophagus, trachea and recurrent laryngeal nerve, anterior to C7 transverse process and prevertebral fascia, superior to the subclavian...

The anatomical approach in stellate ganglion injection.

T H E sympathetic outflow to the head and neck and the greater part of that to the upper limbs passes on each side through the relatively small confines of the stellate ganglion and is here subject to interruption by stellate ganglion block. This block will cut off all efferent sympathetic impulses to the head and neck and most, if not all, of those to the upper limb and may be of value for exa...
