Head And Neck Neurovascular Bundle

Question 1

Supraorbital neurovascular fascicle (a., v., n.supraorbitalis) –

Answer 1

exit projects at the upper orbital margin, corresponding to the midpoint between medial and middle thirds

Question 2

Frontal neurovascular fascicle (a., v., n. frontalis)

Aka Supratrochlearis a v n

Answer 2

exit point corresponds to crossing of upper orbital margin with vertical line which goes through medial angle of the orbit

Question 3

Superficial temporal vessels and auriculotemporal nerve

Answer 3

project at the line going vertically 1cm to the front from external acoustic meatus

Question 4

Posterior auricular vessels and nerve (a., v., n. auricularis posterior)

Answer 4

is projected at the line connecting the soft tissues of back part of the ear to temporal bone

Question 5

Occipital artery (a. occipitalis)

Answer 5

projected onto occipital region in the middle of the line that connects external occipital prominence and back part of the base of mastoid process

Question 6

Greater occipital nerve (n. occipitalis major)

Answer 6

projected at the level of the upper cervical line, at a distance of 2 cm outward from the median line and lies inside of the occipital artery

Question 7

Lesser occipital nerve (n. occipitalis minor)

Answer 7

projected in the occipital region 3-3,5 cm posteriorly from the upper end of the root of the auricle

Question 8

Upper sagittal sinus (sinus sagittalis superior)

Answer 8

is projected at sagittal line connecting the base of the nose with external occipital prominence.

Question 9

Transverse sinus (sinus transversus)

Answer 9

projected at the line connecting external occipital prominence with upper back part of mastoid process. The line mostly corresponds to linea nuchae superior (

Question 10

Sigmoid sinus (sinus sigmoideus)

Answer 10

projected onto the mastoid crest – back of the Shipo`s triangle

Question 11

Connection of sinuses (confluence sinuum)

Answer 11

projects at external occipital prominence

Question 12

Parietal emissary veins (vv. emissariae parietales)

Answer 12

projected on each side from sagittal suture on 2-2,5 cm anteriorly from its posterior margin.

Question 13

Mastoid emissary vein (v. emissaria mastoidea)

Answer 13

projected at the level of the posterior base of the mastoid process

Question 14

FACE DEPARTMENT

Infraorbital neurovascular fascicle (a., v., n.infraorbitalis)

Answer 14

projects in the middle of lower orbital margin 0,5-1cm to the below towards fossa canina

Question 15

Mental nerve (n. mentalis)

Answer 15

the exit point is on a vertical line passing through the supraorbital foramen and infraorbital foramen at the mid-height of the mandible

Question 16

Facial artery (a. facialis)

Answer 16

is projected at curved line going from lower edge of mandible near the front edge of m. buccinator towards medial angle of the orbit (fig. 4, a). Facial vein corresponds to straight line going the same way.

Question 17

Maxillary artery (a. maxillaris)

Answer 17

is projected at the level of the neck of articular process of mandible.

Question 18

Parotid gland duct (ductus parotideus)

Answer 18

is projected at the line going from external acoustic meatus to the midpoint between the angle of mouth and wing of nose

Question 19

Facial nerve (n. facialis).

Answer 19

Exit point is projected 2 cm below the line of connection of auricle or at the level of earlobe. Branches go radially towards temporal region, lateral orbital angle, wing of nose, lower edge of mandible and neck
