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.
In its medial span, it travels close to the anterior serratus muscle (Bochenek 1997, Rouviere & Delmas 2005, Testut & Latarjet 2007). This complex distribution of the fascia tissue allows integration of the fascial and muscle structures of the cervical region with the scapular girdle, the ...
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...
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...
On the medial aspect of the occipital condyle, there is a tubercle for attachment of the alar ligament. The hypoglossal canal is an important anatomical relation located above the middle third of the occipital condyle and transmits the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII), a meningeal branch of...
The cervical spine's flexibility provides a wide range of motion, including flexion, extension, rotation, and lateral flexion. The atlantoaxial joint offers 50% of all cervical rotation. Besides, the atlantooccipital joint contributes 50% of flexion and extension of the neck. ...
The lateral branch of the dorsal ramus of C2 helps to supply motor innervation to the longissimus capitis, splenius capitis, and semispinalis capitis muscles. The medial branch of the dorsal ramus of C2 is large and is known as the greater occipital nerve that courses superiorly to provide a...
The occipital and sacral pressures experienced by healthy volunteers under spinal immobilization: A trial of three surfaces. J. Emerg. Nurs. 2007, 33, 447–450. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] [PubMed] Ala, A.; Vahdati, S.S.; Ghaffarzad, A.; Mousavi, H.; Mirza-Aghazadeh-Attari, M. ...
bilateral fracture of the second cervical vertebra with an anterior dislocation of its body, with the dens remaining intact as a result of a violent and rapid hyperextension-distraction of the neck [13]. Among rostral cervical lesions there is also the atlanto-occipital dislocation, resulting from...
