OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To illustrate detailed anatomy of the extracranial portion of the glossopharyngeal nerve in the parapharyngeal space as encountered during transoral surgery. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cadaveric dissection. All dissections were performed transorally and confirmed with transcervical dissection. METHODS Eight color-injected cadaveric heads (16 sides) were dissected to demo...
متن کاملUpper Airway Blocks for Awake Difficult Airway Management.
Airway anesthesia is pivotal for successful awake intubation provided either topically or by blocks. Airway blocks are considered technically more difficult to perform and carry a higher risk of complications. However, in experienced hands, they can be useful as they provide excellent intubating conditions. For complete upper airway anesthesia, bilateral glossopharyngeal and superior laryngeal ...
متن کاملEpidural and intravenous fentanyl.
To the Editor: The use of local anaesthetic for tonsillectomy is not new. Combined with general anaesthesia, glossopharyngeal nerve block improves operative conditions and provides excellent postoperative analgesia. The glossopharyngeal nerve supplies most of the sensation responsible for pain transmission following tonsillectomy or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. It can be blocked using an intraora...
متن کاملGlossopharyngeal nerve transection does not alter taste reactivity to sucrose conditioned to be aversive.
Glossopharyngeal nerve (GL) transection in rats is known to markedly reduce gaping, a stereotypical aversive oromotor behavior, in response to intraorally delivered quinine. In this experiment we tested whether GL transection would reduce gaping in response to an otherwise palatable stimulus (sucrose) but conditioned to be aversive. Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with intraoral cannulae. Fi...
متن کاملGlossopharyngeal Nerve Block versus Lidocaine Spray to Improve Tolerance in Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
Aim of the Study. To compare the effect of glossopharyngeal nerve block with topical anesthesia on the tolerance of patients to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods. We performed a clinical trial in one hundred patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the following two groups: (1) treatment with bilateral glossopharyngeal nerve block (...
