Adverse Events in Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator Implantation: 5-Year Analysis of the FDA MAUDE Database

Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery, 2020
Objective Use of hypoglossal nerve stimulator implantation has dramatically improved the surgical treatment of multilevel airway collapse during obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Understanding causes of adverse events and their impact on patients undergoing

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator Outcomes for Patients Outside the U.S. FDA Recommendations

The Laryngoscope, 2020
The hypoglossal nerve stimulator (HGNS) is currently approved for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with an apnea‐hypopnea index (AHI) of >15 to ≤65 events/hour, and a central apnea index (CAI)

Cranial Nerve XII: The Hypoglossal Nerve

Seminars in Neurology, 2009
The hypoglossal nerve provides motor innervation to the tongue, and may be affected by pathology at multiple locations along its pathway. Knowledge of its anatomy and careful examination of the tongue are important in the diagnosis of lesions and determination of appropriate testing. The hypoglossal nerve anatomy and physiology, clinical disorders, and

Cranial nerve XII: The hypoglossal nerve

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2002
The hypoglossal nerve, cranial nerve XII, is the motor supply of the tongue. An understanding of the intracranial and extracranial components is fundamental in the evaluation of hypoglossal pathology. The following discussion of the evaluation of the hypoglossal nerve will involve the embryology, anatomy, clinical basis, and imaging techniques with ...

Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation Therapy

2022
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) has been shown to be a safe alternative in the treatment of moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A recent meta-analysis of 12 studies by Costantino et al. indicated the surgical success rates at 55-75%, a reduction of the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of 18 events/h, and a reduction of the Epworth ...

Fascicular Patterns of the Hypoglossal Nerve

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 1995
Hypoglossal-facial nerve transfer is a standard technique for facial-palsy reconstruction. The fascicular anatomy of the hypoglossal nerve may be important in determining strategies, when attempting to minimize atrophy of the tongue. The present study investigated hypoglossal fascicular anatomy by histomorphometric analysis of 10 human hypoglossal ...

Surgical anatomy of ovine facial and hypoglossal nerves for facial nerve reconstruction and regeneration research: An experimental study in sheep

Microsurgery, 2020
The lack of a clinically relevant animal model for facial nerve research is a challenge. The goal of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the ovine facial and hypoglossal nerves to establish a clinically relevant facial nerve research model.

A case of paraganglioma of the hypoglossal nerve

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2010
AbstractIntroduction:Paragangliomas are rare tumours arising from the paraganglia of the autonomic nervous system.Case report:We present a case of a paraganglioma arising from the hypoglossal nerve and producing an unusual clinical picture at presentation.Discussion:We supply radiological evidence of a paraganglioma originating from the hypoglossal ...

Hypoglossal-Facial Side-to-End Neurorrhaphy With Concomitant Masseteric-Zygomatic Nerve Branch Coaptation and Muscle Transfer for Facial Reanimation: Technique and Case Report.

Operative Neurosurgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Hypoglossal-facial direct side-to-end neurorrhaphy has become widely used for facial reanimation in patients with irreversible facial nerve damage. Although this procedure achieves good restoration of facial function, it has disadvantages such

Aberrant anatomy of the hypoglossal nerve

The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 2012
AbstractObjective:Variant anatomy of the hypoglossal nerve is very rare. We report an unusual intra-operative finding of an aberrant branch of the hypoglossal nerve, encountered during a facial reanimation procedure.Case report:A 50-year-old man was referred to the head and neck surgery department by the neurosurgeons for hypoglossal-facial nerve ...
