Schwannoma of the ansa cervicalis [PDF]
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2011 Schwannomas are rare neoplasms that originate from Schwann cells. We present a case report of schwannoma of the ansa cervicalis in a patient where preoperative imaging suggested thyroid pathology. A 25-year-old man presented to the otolaryngology department with a one-year history of an asymptomatic, anterior triangle neck swelling.

Unilateral anatomical variation of the ansa cervicalis
Australasian Medical Journal, 2015 The ansa cervicalis is a loop of nerves that is usually formed by the union of ventral rami of spinal nerves C1, C2, and C3. It is located in the carotid triangle of the neck, lying superficial to the carotid sheath. During routine dissection, unilateral variation of the ansa cervicalis was observed.

Variant Inferior Root of Ansa Cervicalis [PDF]
International Journal of Morphology, 2011 Ansa cervicalis is a loop of nerves found in the anterior wall of the carotid sheath in the carotid triangle of neck innervating infrahyoid muscles. Its superior root has fibres from the first cervical nerve that leaves the hypoglossal nerve and joins the inferior root formed by the branches from the second and third cervical nerves. The two roots join

Unusual looping pattern of ansa cervicalis: Case report [PDF]
OA Case Reports, 2013 Introduction The course and location of ansa cervicalis of the neck often vary. Because of its closeness with the major vessels and nerves of the neck, any variation in its pattern is of great clinical and surgical importance. This paper reports a case of an unusual looping pattern of ansa cervicalis.
