Epilepsia, 1998
Summary: Left vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a promising new treatment for epilepsy. In 1997, VNS was approved in the United States as an adjunctive treatment for medically refractory partial‐onset seizures in adults and adolescents. For some patients with partial‐onset seizures, the adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are intolerable; for

The Laryngoscope, 1988
AbstractA tumor of the vagus nerve often, is discovered unexpectedly at operation. We report 36 of these rare neoplasms in 35 patients. The majority of the tumors presented as a mass in the upper cervical or parapharyngeal region. Usually the mass was asymptomatic.

Vagus Nerve and Vagus Nerve Stimulation, a Comprehensive Review: Part III
Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 2015Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is currently undergoing multiple trials to explore its potential for various clinical disorders. To date, VNS has been approved for the treatment of refractory epilepsy and depression. It exerts antiepileptic or antiepileptogenic effect possibly through neuromodulation of certain monoamine pathways. Beyond epilepsy, VNS is

The vagus nerve (X) consists of autonomic, sensory and motor fibers. It emerges by six to eight roots which leave the neuraxis via the posterior lateral sulcus of the medulla oblongata (Fig. 10.1; 10.2).

Ghrelin, a gastrointestinal hormone, stimulates feeding and secretion of growth hormone (GH). Ghrelin is thought to directly affect neurons involved in feeding or GH secretion through growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R; ghrelin receptor); however, it is still unclear whether ghrelin crosses through the blood-brain barrier.

Chemodectoma of the Vagus Nerve
Radiology, 1967Chemodectomas are tumors of the chemoreceptive system and occur at all sites where chemoreceptor bodies are found. The author was able to find reports of only 26 cases of chemodectoma originating from the cervical portion of the vagus nerve, and of these only 6 (1–6) gave a detailed description of the radiographic and angiographic findings.

Neurilemmoma of the Vagus Nerve in the Neck
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1968A case of neurilemmoma of the vagus nerve in the neck is described, in which excision with preservation of the nerve was possible. Attention is drawn to the typical clinical picture presented by these tumours. Recognition of this should make it possible to suspect the diagnosis preperatively and so greatly reduce the risks of operative damage to the ...

Human Vagus Nerve Electrophysiology
Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2001The authors studied human vagus nerve electrophysiology intraoperatively on 21 patients (age range: 4 to 31 years) during implantation of a vagus nerve stimulator for seizure control. The study was performed with direct electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve with various stimulation parameters resembling those employed by the Cyberonics ...
