Q

veins/lymph

what are the important structures in the face that can allow for the spread of infection

A

lymph nodes

  • submental nodes
  • submandibular nodes
  • parotid/pre-auricular nodes

Venous

  • The cavernous sinus

Infection from the face can spread through the facial vein into the orbit, or through the pterygoid venous plexus, eventually reaching the cavernous sinus. Septicemia can lead to meningitis or cavernous sinus thrombosis.

  1. Posterior superior alveolar
  2. Infra-orbital
  3. Sphenopalatine (terminal branch)

Q

where do 90% of nose bleeds originate from

A

The sphenopalatine artery is often called the “artery of epistaxis”. may need ESPAL (Endoscopic Sphenopalatine Artery Ligation).

It supplies most of the blood to the inferior and posterior aspects of the nasal cavity and will anastomose with the anterior and posterior ethmoidal, greater palatine and (septal branch of the) superior labial aa in plexus called Kiesselbach’s area (Kiesselbach’splexus).

LEGS:

  • superior Labial
  • Ethmoids (anterior and posterior)
  • Greater palatine
  • Sphenopalatine

Q

what areas do the trigemmenal and facial nerve supply

what foramen does each it pass through

A

trigemmenal: facial structures derived from the first pharyngeal arch & cutaneous innervation to the skin

Facial: facial structures derived from the second pharyngeal arch

exits through the: foramen ovale (V) stylomastoid foramen (VII)

17
Q

what are the branches of the V3 and their functions

A

1. Meningeal branch (nervus spinosus)

2. Auriculo temporal n*

Sensory from ear and TMJ

Also carries PSNS from tympanic nerve (of CNIX) to parotid

3. Lingual n*

general sensory to tongue; the chorda tympani from CN VII and PSNS to the submandibular and sublingual glands join this nerve

4. Inferior alveolar n

Mylohyoid branches from the inferior alveolar.

The inferior alveolar terminates as the mental nerve.

5. (Long) Buccal nerve

sensory from skin of cheek and molar teeth

6.Branchiomotor branches from anterior division:

  • Masseteric
  • Deep temporal
  • Nerves to lateral and medial ptyergoids
  • Nerve to tensor velipalatini
  • Nerve to tensor tympani
18
Q

where does the auriculotemporal nerve run posterior to

A

Q

what is the path of the facial nerve

A

The facial nerve exits the posterior cranial fossa through the internalacousticmeatus. It passes through the temporal bone and emerges from the base of the skull through the stylomastoid foramen and enters the parotid gland BUT DOES NOT INNERVATE IT

21
Q

name the 6 branches of the facial nerve

A
22
Q

name the parotid plexus gives branches

A

•Temporofacialbr=>

temporal, zygomatic, some buccal branches

•Cervicofacial br=>

buccal, marginal mandibular, and cervical branch

23
Q

what nerve can be damaged during birth when using forceps to retrieve the baby

A

Due to the underdeveloped mastoid process of newborns, CNVII may be injured during forceps delivery

24
Q

The pathway of parasympathetics to the salivary glands

A

Parasympathetic innervation to the parotid gland has a complex path. A branch of CNV, the auriculotemporalnerve,carries postganglionic PSNS from CNIX and the otic ganglion to the parotid gland through the following pathway:

  1. The preganglionic parasympathetic component of CNIX travels through the tympanic cavity as the tympanic nerve
  2. This preganglionic fiber exits the tympanic plexus and joins the lesser (superficial) petrosal nerve.
  3. The lesser petrosal nerve synapses in the otic ganglia
  4. Postganglionic fibers of CNIX are conveyed to the parotid gland by the auriculotemporal nerve(a branch of CNV3).
25
Q

The pathway chorda tympani

The function of chorda tympani

The function of the lingual nerve

A

The chordatympani, a branch of CNVII, travels through the middle ear between the malleus and the incus, exits the skull through the petrotympanic fissure, then joins the lingua lnerve.

The chorda tympani carries taste from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and parasympathetics to the submandibular and sublingual glands.

The lingual nerve carries general sensory information from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue.

Q

The function of the lingual nerve

Q

A 30-year-old man had a pleomorphic adenoma removed from his left parotid gland. His postoperative course was uncomplicated. Two months later, he noted that his left cheek became wet while he was eating. Believing that saliva was being discharged from the parotidectomy scar, he went to the emergency department. An examination revealed that the wound had healed well: there were no signs of a fistula (arrow, Panel A). Frey’s syndrome was suspected, and the lemon test was performed. As soon as the patient ate a lemon wedge, his left auricular and parotic regions became flushed and sweaty

A

Gustatory sweating, or Frey’s syndrome, can develop after a variety of insults to the autonomic nervous system, such as trauma or radiation therapy, but is most commonly encountered as a complication of parotidectomy

The most widely accepted mechanism is aberrant neuronal regeneration resulting in parasympathetic cholinergic innervation of cutaneous sympathetic receptors
