36
Q

rare condition classically presenting with partial ptosis (drooping or falling of upper eyelid), miosis (constricted pupil), vasodilation, and facial anhidrosis (loss of sweating) due to a disruption in the sympathetic nerve supply.

A

Horner’s syndrome

37
Q

lymphatics in the neck

A

Superficial cervical lymph nodes of external jugular and anterior jugular, Deep cervical lymph nodes of internal jugular. Right side of the head and neck, right upper limb and right side of the thorax drains into the thoracic duct (Junction of subclavian and internal jugular vein)

38

42
Q

channel from larynx to bronchi

A

trachea

43
Q

3 parts of pharynx

A

Nasopharynx- Base of skull to palate
Oropharynx -Palate to epiglottis
Laryngopharynx - Epiglottis to level of cricoid cartilage

44
Q

channel from pharynx to stomach

A

esophagus

45
Q

superficial cervical fascia

A

platysma

46
Q

3 deep layers of cervical fascia

A

Investing layer: trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, spinal accessory nerve
Pretracheal: trachea, esophagus, thyroid gland, pharynx
Prevertebral: anterior aspect of cervical vertebrae, deep muscles of neck, floor of posterior triangle, brachial plexus

47
Q

What are two inferior attaching fascias

A

investing: attaches manubrim
pretracheal: connects to pericardium, behing retropharyngeal space

48
Q

Why are fascial planes important in neck?

A
  1. The investing layer of deep cervical fascia helps prevent spread of abscesses.
  2. If infection occurs between investing layer of deep fascia and pre tracheal fascia it will not spread beyond the manubrium
  3. If infection occurs deep to pre-tracheal fascia it can spread into the thoracic cavity anterior to the pericardium
  4. Infections between pre-tracheal and pre-vertebral fascia can enter the mediastinum (posterior or anterior)
  5. Air from ruptured trachea or bronchi can ascend into the neck
  6. Abscesses in the retropharyngeal space can put pressure on the pharynx and cause difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia) or speaking (dysarthria)
