Sympathetic nerve fibers in human cervical and thoracic vagus nerves.
BACKGROUND Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy has been used for chronic heart failure and is believed to improve imbalance of autonomic control by increasing parasympathetic activity. Although it is known that there is neural communication between the VN and the cervical sympathetic trunk, there are few data regarding the quantity and/or distribution of the sympathetic components within the ...
متن کاملHuman Vagus Nerve Branching in the Cervical Region
BACKGROUND Vagus nerve stimulation is increasingly applied to treat epilepsy, psychiatric conditions and potentially chronic heart failure. After implanting vagus nerve electrodes to the cervical vagus nerve, side effects such as voice alterations and dyspnea or missing therapeutic effects are observed at different frequencies. Cervical vagus nerve branching might partly be responsible for thes...
متن کاملSchwannomatosis 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 کاملArterial baroreceptor fibers from the aortic region of the dog in the cervical vagus nerve.
The neural pathways followed by sensory fibers from arterial baroreceptors in the aortic region of the dog were investigated with neurophysiological recording. Systemic arterial baroreceptor fibers separate from the depressor nerve were found in the left cervical vagus in each of five dogs investigated; at most two fibers were isolated from each dog due to the difficulty of the dissection. Thes...
