Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

4.8K
The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

3.9K
The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

4.3K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

2.5K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Cranial and Spinal Meninges01:19

Cranial and Spinal Meninges

2.9K
The cranial and spinal meninges are complex protective structures surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord. These meninges consist of the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. They protect the CNS, provide structural support, and aid in circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

9.5K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Congenital neck masses (CNMs) represent a significant portion of pediatric and adult neck masses.
  • These malformations exhibit diverse clinical presentations.
  • Understanding their embryological origins is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes of CNMs.
  • To present a single-institution's 12-year experience with surgically treated CNMs.
  • To correlate embryological understanding with successful management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 117 patients surgically treated for CNMs over 12 years.
  • Detailed review of patient demographics, CNM types, anatomical locations, and treatment outcomes.
  • Surgical excision as the primary treatment modality for all identified CNMs.

Main Results:

  • 120 CNMs were identified, with thyroglossal duct remnants (43.33%) and branchial cleft anomalies (40.00%) being most common.
  • The lateral neck was the most frequent anatomical site (54%), followed by the midline (45%).
  • A low recurrence rate of 4.17% was observed post-surgical excision.

Conclusions:

  • CNMs present a wide clinical spectrum, requiring a deep understanding of neck embryology and anatomy.
  • Accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment are essential to minimize morbidity and recurrence.
  • This study provides comprehensive data on CNM clinical features and management from a single institution.
