Supraorbital n
Autonomous zone for jaw/cheek
Transverse facial branch of auriculotemporal n
Muscular boundaries of the jugular groove
Sternomandibularis/Sternocephalicus

Viborg triangle boundaries and importance
Cranially-Ramus of mandible
Ventrally-Linguofacial v
Dorsocaudally-Tendon of sternomandibularis/sternocephalicus
It is a region in the lateral retropharyngeal area used for surgical access to the guttural pouch.
How can guttural pouch become infected?
If retropharyngeal LN become diseased due to mycotic infection.
What are four structures that can be damaged in the guttural pouch and the disease that results?
1-internal carotid a
–>epistaxis
2-CN IX, X
–>Difficulty swallowing
3-Costocervical ganglion
–>Horner’s syndrome
4-Retropharyngeal LN
–>Strangles
5-Middle ear infection
6-CN X
–>Laryngeal hemiplegia
7-Medial retropharyngeal LN
–>Streptococcus equ equi
Possible fxn of guttural pouch
Cooling of blood in the internal carotid a to the brain, especially during exercise.
Tracheotomy
-Where
Surgically opening the ventral surface of the trachea if there is proximal obstruction of the airway.
Perform between tracheal cartilages 4-6
What should you palpate if you expect Goiter due to iodine deficiency or cancer? What lymphocenters should you note for enlargement?
Palpate thyroid gland
Also see if superficial cervical lymphocenter and deep cervical lymphocenter are enlarged
What vasculature structures should you be aware of that can be easily damaged if horse runs straight into a fence?
Cephalic v and deltoid branch of superficial cervical a
They are btw descending pectoral and brachiocephalic m
Why should you avoid IM injection on dorsal surface of neck?
Presence of the crest which is heavy and touch CT mixed with fat.
What can be used for IM injection?
Descending pectoral
How can you treat crib-biting
-What is this surgery called
Bilateral neuroectomy of the ventral branch of the accessory n and resection of the sternohyoideus, sternothyroideus, and omohyoideus.
Modified Forrsell’s operation
How can you treat roaring?
Enter larynx through incision of cricothyroid ligament.
Cricoid ligament occupies thyroid notch and attaches caudally to the cricoid cartilage.
What v can you ventipuncture on side of neck?
External jugular v at cranial 1/2 of neck
What veins join to form external jugular v
Linguofacial and maxillary v
What muscle in neck protects internal carotid a
Omohyoideus
How can a horse get ataxia or wobbles
- How to fix
- Where to pay attention to
Malformation of the articular processes of cervical vertebrae
Fix by ventral approach through visceral space of neck
Pay attention to C3-C7
Fistulous withers
- How
- Importance
Infection involving supraspinous bursa located above spines of withers.
Can find Brucella abortus in lesion
What a can be used to take pulse
Facial a
Masseteric a
Transverse facial a
Importance of buccal branches of facial n
Prone to trauma and neoplams and paralysis of muscle if head is not properly padded during anesthesia.
What n would you block to prevent blinking of eye and how would you block it?
Auriculopalepbral branch of facial n
Base of ear at zygomatic arch or caudal end of zygomatic arch
Blocking infraoribital n would result in
Desensitization of deep structures of face to level of medial angle of eye, first two upper cheek teeth, canines, incisors.
Block via infraorbital foramen to reach infraorbital canal
Block lower lip via
Blocking mental n via mental foramen. Desensitization of canines and incisors
What tooth roots can project into maxillary sinus
Last three or four upper cheek teeth
