Internal Thoracic Artery Encircled by an Unusual Phrenic Nerve Loop
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2007 We report an anatomic variation of the phrenic nerve. During a routine gross anatomical dissection course at our medical university, we found an unusual loop of the left phrenic nerve around the internal thoracic artery, about 1 cm from the take-off of ...

Schwannoma of the accessory phrenic nerve [PDF]
American Journal of Otolaryngology, 2007 Otolaryngologists are frequently confronted with the management of cervical tumors. Neurogenic tumors concern, especially, the cranial, sympathetic, or peripheral nerve sheathes. These tumors are benign and grow slowly. The involvement of the cervical part of the phrenic nerve is exceptional, and only 2 cases are reported in the literature. We describe

Cervical spondylosis as a possible hidden reason beyond delayed phrenic nerve distal motor latency
Egyptian Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, 2021 Background Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative condition of the cervical spine that can affect the cervical nerve roots. The origin of the phrenic nerve makes it vulnerable to injury. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible subtle

Feasibility of transesophageal phrenic nerve stimulation [PDF]
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2023 Background Every year, more than 2.5 million critically ill patients in the ICU are dependent on mechanical ventilation. The positive pressure in the lungs generated by the ventilator keeps the diaphragm passive, which can lead to a loss of myofibers ...

Tuberculosis and phrenic nerve destruction. [PDF]
South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 2007 Phrenic nerve palsy (PNP) is often associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis-related expansile pneumonia, possibly because of nerve entrapment by healing fibrosis. Mohan and Jayaswal1 postulated that pressure on the left phrenic nerve by an enlarged hilar lymph node caused unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis in a 6-year-old boy who developed PNP during
