The tragal pointer has long been used as a surgical landmark for the identification of the facial nerve trunk and the maxillary artery in such procedures as parotidectomy, internal fixation of subcondylar and condylar fractures, mandibular osteotomy, temporomandibular joint arthroplasty, and percutaneous blocks of branches of the trigeminal nerve and pterygopalatine ganglion. Aside from its use as an external landmark, it has also been implicated as a contributor to crease formation in the presence of peripheral arterial disease. This article will review the available literature on the tragal pointer’s use as an external landmark. (Folia Morphol 2012; 71, 2: 59–64)
Recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis represents a major complication in oesophageal cancer surgery. Nerve-muscle transplantation to the paraglottic space after resection of the recurrent laryngeal nerve with the ansa cervicalis (AC) has recently become the procedure of choice. The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomical variations of AC in order to avoid iatrogenic injuries and facilitate surgical procedures. We examined 100 adult human formalin-fixed cadavers. The ansa cervicalis showed a great degree of variation regarding origin and distribution. The origin of the superior root of AC was found to be superior to the digastric muscle in 92% of the cases. Its vertical descent was found to be superficial to the external carotid artery in 72% and superficial to the internal carotid artery in 28% of the specimens. The inferior root of AC was derived from the primary rami of C2 and C3 in 38%, from C2, C3 and C4 in 10%, from C3 in 40% and from C2 in 12% of the cases. The inferior root passed posterolaterally to the internal jugular vein in 74% and anteromedially in 26% of the cases. The roots of AC were long (70%) or short (30%), and the union between the two roots was situated inferior or superior to the omohyoid. Not only is knowledge of the anatomy of the ansa cervicalis important for nerve grafting procedures, but surgeons should be aware of AC and its relationships to the great vessels of the neck in order to avoid inadvertent injury during surgical procedures of the neck.
