Use of an innervated tongue flap to rehabilitate the tongue after hypoglossal-to-facial nerve transfer.
Facial palsy resulting from loss of the intracranial portion of the facial nerve has been reconstructed traditionally by transferring motor axons from the hypoglossal nerve to the facial nerve.1–4 This approach can reinnervate the facial muscles if it is done before these muscles have undergone irreversible atrophy, eliminating the need for a free-muscle transfer. The two major disadvantages of...
متن کاملTransient unilateral combined paresis of the hypoglossal nerve and lingual nerve following intubation anesthesia.
Nerve damage may occur in the pharyngolaryngeal region during general anesthesia. The most frequently injured nerves are the hypoglossal, lingual and recurrent laryngeal. These injuries may arise in association with several factors, such as laryngoscopy, endotracheal intubation and tube insertion, cuff pressure, mask ventilation, the triple airway maneuver, the oropharyngeal airway, manner of i...
متن کاملLaryngeal Reinnervation Using a Split-Hypoglossal Nerve Graft in a Canine Model.
IMPORTANCE Vocal fold immobility following injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) may lead to substantial morbidity. A reinnervation treatment strategy offers several theoretical benefits over static treatment options. This study evaluates the robustness of reinnervation of the larynx using a split-hypoglossal nerve graft in an animal model, with outcomes assessed by independent blinded ...
متن کاملImaging the hypoglossal nerve
The hypoglossal nerve is a pure motor nerve. It provides motor control to the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles thus being essential for normal tongue movement and coordination. In order to design a useful imaging approach and a working differential diagnosis in cases of hypoglossal nerve damage one has to have a good knowledge of the normal anatomy of the nerve trunk and its main branches...
متن کاملAvulsion injuries to the brachial plexus and the value of motor reinnervation by ipsilateral nerve transfer.
1. It is now generally accepted that time between the injury and its reconstruction is a crucial determinant of the functional result. In long-standing brachial plexus lesions, atrophy of the denervated muscles progresses until reinnervation becomes impossible or can only produce a minor, clinically unimportant result. Therefore, it is important to perform an early surgical exploration within 3...
