The distribution of the axial cervical pain associated with these joints can extend from the suboccipital region to the midscapular region, depending on the Z-joints involved.doi:10.1016/B978-0-323-40153-1.00056-1Furman, Michael B.
Course and distribution Sensory branches Lesser occipital nerve: This branch is formed by the second cervical nerve (C2) only, and courses to supply the skin of the neck and the scalp posterosuperior to the clavicle. Great auricular nerve: This sensory branch originates from the C2 and C3...
Cervical medial branch blocks are commonly performed for the diagnosis and treatment of head, neck, and shoulder pain. Intermittent fluoroscopy is widely used for needle positioning and visualization of contrast distribution before medic... SN Narouze - 《Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine》 被引量...
Multiple therapeutic interventions have been utilized among which interventional techniques with cervical intraarticular injections, cervical medial branch nerve blocks, and cervical radiofrequency neurotomy are common procedures. Evidence derived from guidelines and systematic reviews shows Level II evidence with...
Briefly describe two major differences between the dorsal column-medial lemnisci and anterolateral systems.List four features of typical cervical vertebrae.Describe the anatomy of the spinal cord and relate the anatomy to the movement of nerve impulses to and from the brain.Which of the followin...
After their origin, the cervical medial branches travel transversely along the “waist” of the facetal pillar (approximately halfway between the joints) with the exception of innervation of the C2–C3 FJ. The C3 dorsal ramus has two medial branches, a deep medial branch that passes around ...

The superficial medial branch of the dorsal ramus is known as the third occipital nerve. Because of its close relationships with the bony elements of the C2-C3 IVF, the third occipital nerve has been implicated as a cause of headaches that frequently accompany generalized osteoarthritis of the ...
, 1986). In aged rats this process is reversed (at least in the superior cervical ganglion) and there is reduction in soma size, total dendritic length, number of branch points, and total area of dendritic arborization (Andrews et al., 1994). Ganglion neurons are individually ensheathed by...
is located caudal and parallel to the SAN and the phrenic nerve, and these nerves should be preserved when possible (Fig.8.26). The GAN turns toward the SCM muscle near this point (Fig.8.27). In this area, too, care must be taken to preserve the branch of the occipital artery, which...
