Case Report: Intraneural Intracanalicular Ganglion Cyst of the Hypoglossal Nerve Treated by Extradural Transcondylar Approach

Journal of Neurological Surgery Reports, 2015
We report a case of an intraneural ganglion cyst of the hypoglossal canal. The patient presented with unilateral hypoglossal nerve palsy, and magnetic resonance imaging showed a small lesion in the hypoglossal canal with no contrast enhancement and high ...

Control of OSA in a patient with CCC of soft palate using bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Patients with complete concentric collapse of the redropalatal airway are excluded from unilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation. This case report shows good control of OSA in a patient with CCC with a new bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulator.

Differential Toxicities of Intraneurally Injected Mercuric Chloride for Sympathetic and Somatic Motor Fibers: An Ultrastructural Study

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2011
Mercury is a well-known neurotoxin but the susceptibility of autonomic nerves to mercury poisoning in vivo has seldom been studied. Our previous studies have shown that the hypoglossal nerve in hamsters contains somatic motor and postganglionic ...

Diagnosis and management of hypoglossal nerve-derived schwannoma in the floor of mouth: a case series

BMC Oral Health, 2022
Background Schwannomas or neurilemmomas are well-encapsulated, benign, solitary, and slow-growing tumors that originate from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath. Extracranial schwannoma is reported to have a relatively high incidence in the tongue while an

Using the Post-Descendens Hypoglossal Nerve in Hypoglossal-Facial Anastomosis: An Anatomic and Histologic Feasibility Study.

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Hypoglossal-facial anastomosis (HFA) is a popular facial reanimation technique. Mobilizing the intratemporal segment of the facial nerve and using the post-descendens hypoglossal nerve (ie, the segment distal to the take-off of descendens ...

Side-to-end hypoglossal-facial anastomosis via transposition of the intratemporal facial nerve

, 2009
The technique of facial nerve repair with side-to-end hypoglossal-facial anastomosis is presented and evaluated in five patients, who were operated on because of facial nerve paralysis after acoustic neuroma surgery or had cranial base trauma.

Hypoglossal Schowannoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2011
Introduction: Schawannomas (neuromas, neurilemmomas) are benign tumors originating from showann cells or nerve fiber sheet cells. They are solitary, encapsulated tumors usually attached to, or surrounded by a nerve. Case Report: We present a case of left

Hypoglossal nerve conduction findings in obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

, 2010
Denervation of oropharyngeal muscles in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been suggested by needle electromyography (EMG) and muscle biopsy, but little is known about oropharyngeal nerve conduction abnormalities in OSA.

Effects of oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation on the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base in minipigs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypoglossal nerve or tongue protruding muscle stimulation is a current treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. Thus, the present study analyzed 3D deformations of the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base upon oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation.
