SUMMARY: Cranial nerve injury is one of the neurologic complications following carotid endarterectomy. The hypoglossal nerve is one of the most frequently injured nerves during carotid endarterectomy. Guidelines suggest that proper anatomic knowledge is crucial to avoid cranial nerve injury. The aim of t...
Intoduction The pathways of the facial nerve are variable, and knowledge of that is
essential. The worst impact caused by facial paralysis is related to quality of life,
especially regarding the self-esteem and social acceptance on the part of the patients,
leading to social isolation and disruption on t...
Introduction The side-to-end hypoglossal-facial anastomosis (HFA) technique is an
excellent alternative technique to the classic end-terminal anastomosis, because itmay
decrease the symptoms resulting from hypoglossal-nerve transection.
Methods Patients with facial nerve palsy (House-Brackmann [HB] grade...
El artículo publicado por Sawamura Y. y Abe H. hace más de dos décadas representó una técnica revolucionaria para las cirugías contemporáneas de reanimación facial con axones del nervio hipogloso.1 Estos procedimientos se realizan cuando no es posible neurotizar al nervio...
Los neurofibromas son tumores benignos con origen en la vaina de nervios periféricos;
aunque raros, son diagnosticados en pacientes sin historia previa de
neurofibromatosis tipo 1, en cuyo caso se constituye en una forma esporádica. Se
presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 27 años con una masa ...
Abstract Introduction: There is no technique of facial nerve reconstruction that guarantees facial function recovery up to grade III. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different facial nerve reconstruction techniques. Methods: Facial nerve reconstruction was performed in 22 patients (f...
The formation of ansa cervicalis (AC) is somewhat complex with both its course and location along the common carotid artery and internal jugular vein (IJV) varying. The aim of the study was to document the anatomy, formation and variations of AC. Forty fetuses (gestational age: 15 to 28 weeks) were obtai...
Objetivo:analizar laanatomía microquirúrgica de los nervios facial e hipogloso extracraneana enrelación con la anastomosis hipogloso-facial.Método: en cinco cabezas cadavéricas adultas, formolizadas e inyectadascon silicona coloreada, se reprodujeron tres técnicas de anastomosis hipogloso-facialcon...
