  • Clinical Anatomy of Greater Petrosal Nerve and Its Surgical Importance
    [Downloaded free from http://www.indianjotol.org on Monday, August 18, 2014, IP: 218.241.189.21] || Click here to download free Android application for this journal ORIGINAL ARTICLE Clinical anatomy of greater petrosal nerve and its surgical importance Prashant E Natekar, Fatima M De Souza Department of Anatomy, Goa Medical College, Bambolim, Goa, India Background: Surgical approach towards greater petrosal nerve has to be done with caution as many surgeons ABSTRACT are unfamiliar with the anatomy of the facial nerve. The anatomical landmarks selected must be reliable and above all easy to identify for identification of the greater petrosal nerve so as to avoid injury to the structures in the middle cranial fossa. Observation and Results: The present study is carried out on 100 temporal bones by examining the following measurements of the right and the left sides a) length of the hiatus for grater petrosal superficial nerve b) distance from superior petrosal sinus c) distance from lateral margin of middle cranial fossa d) arcuate eminence and e) distance from exit to the foramen ovale. Conclusion: The anatomical landmarks selected must be reliable and above all easy to identify. Bony structures are more suitable than soft tissue or cartilaginous landmarks because of their rigid and reliable location. These anatomical landmarks will definitely help the surgeon while performing vidian nerve neurectomy and also the anatomical relationship of the facial nerve in temporal bone. The middle fossa approach involves a temporal craniotomy in cases of perineural spread of adenoid cystic carcinomas hence these anatomical landmarks will serve as useful guide for the surgeons and radiologists.

  • Facial Nerve
    Facial nerve 7TH CARNIVAL NERVE Synopsis Introduction Nuclei Anatomical course Branches and it’s distribution FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS 1. Motor function 2. Special sensory function 3. Parasympathetic functions Ganglia Clinical Relevance INTRODUCTION The facial nerve, CN VII, is the seventh paired cranial nerve. In this article, we shall look at the anatomical course of the nerve, and the motor, sensory and parasympathetic functions of its terminal branches. The facial nerve is associated with the derivatives of the second pharyngeal arch. NUCLEI The fibers of the nerve are connected to four nuclei situated in the lower pons 1. Motor nucleus or branchiomotor 2. Superior salivatory nucleus or parasympathetic 3. Lacrimatory nucleus is also parasympathetic 4. Nucleus to the tractus solitarius The motor nucleus lies deep in the reticular formation of lower pons. The part of nucleus that supplies muscles of upper part of face receives cortico nuclear fibers from motor cortex of both right and left side ANATOMICAL COURSE I Intacranial course: The facial nerve is attached to the brain stem by two roots ,motor and sensory.The sensory root is also called the nerves intermedius The two roots of facial nerve are attached to the later part of the lower border of the pons just medial to the eighth cranial nerve. The two roots run laterally and forwards , with the eighth nerve to reach the internal acoustic meatus In the meatus , the motor root lies in a groove on the eighth nerve, with the sensory root intervening.Here the seventh and eighth nerves are accompanied by labyrinthine vessels. Within the canal , the course of the nerve can be divided into three parts by two bends 1.

  • The Pterygopalatine Fossa
    2 Omran Saeed Luma Taweel Mohammad Almohtaseb 1 | P a g e I didn’t include all the photos in this sheet in order to keep it as small as possible so if you need more clarification please refer to slides In this lecture we’re gonna discuss paranasal sinuses and pterygopalatine fossa. The paranasal sinuses are spaces inside skull bones. They’re all lined with respiratory mucosa which is pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium but the mucosa here is thin. - All sinuses open by ducts into lateral wall of the nose. - The innervation is branches from “CN V” Trigeminal nerve (the Trigeminal gives rise to three branches: ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular). Here in paranasal sinuses we’re interested in the first two branches, mandibular nerve don’t innervate these sinuses. - There are 6 ethmoidal sinuses, 2 sphenoid, 2 maxillary, and 2 frontal air sinuses. Functions: 2 | P a g e 1- resonance of the voice. 2- decreased weight of the skull. 3- Protection (by moisturizing and modifying of the temperature and reduce intracranial pressure) Paranasal sinuses: 1- The Frontal air sinus is present in frontal bone and it is triangular in shape. At birth it is small and called rudimental while in adults it becomes bigger. Drainage: frontonasal duct into infundibulum (a space in front of the middle meatus especially hiatus semilunaris) Innervation: it is innervated by the supraorbital nerve, a branch of the ophthalmic nerve that passes through supraorbital foramen. 2- The Ethmoidal air sinuses/ cells three pairs of sinuses; anterior, middle and posterior air sinuses (3 on the right and 3 on the left).
