The risk of having a future stroke caused by a severe blockage in an artery in the neck that is not currently causing any symptoms is so low that most patients with this condition—asymptomatic carotid stenosis—could potentially be treated with the newest medications and may not require surgery...
or sialoliths, within the gland. They usually form in excretory ducts, the most common of which is Wharton’s duct, but are also seen in the parotid, sublingual, and minor salivary glands. The blockage usually leads to pain, swelling, and inflammation of the gland, all of which a...
Cervical artery dissection (CD) is a small tear in the layers ofartery wallsin the neck. It can result in ischemic stroke if a blood clot forms after a trivial or major trauma in the neck and later causes blockage of a blood vessel in the brain. Cervical artery dissection is an importan...
Retinal Artery Occlusion– the blockage of either the central retinal artery or the branch retinal arteries resulting in retinal ischemia and severe vision loss.

Influence of intubation and positioning on the appearance of joint blockage in the area of the cervical spine in patients with neuromuscular blockade Patients who have to undergo anesthesia with intubation and neuromuscular relaxation often complain of pain in the neck, resulting from joint blockage of...
These tests revealed significant cardiac abnormalities including multi-vessel blockage of the coronary arteries and evidence of infarction. He underwent a coronary artery bypass graft 4 days later. Discussion: To make an appropriate differential diagnosis, physical therapists must use a patient-centered ...
can significantly impair quality of life. Hypertrophied turbinates produce anatomical nasal obstruction. If these turbinates are resected or their mucosa is severely injured, the sensation of nasal obstruction in the absence of a physical blockage can occur. Olfactory epithelial dysfunction leads to a ...
