Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

3.1K
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

2.7K
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...

Pericarditis, an inflammation of the pericardium, necessitates diligent nursing management to ensure effective patient care and recovery. The initial step in managing pericarditis is a comprehensive patient medical assessment.The patient reports chest pain aggravated by breathing, coughing, and swallowing, which worsens when lying supine. The pain often improves when sitting up and leaning forward. Additional symptoms may include fever, malaise, and, in severe cases, signs of heart failure.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Lipomas are common benign mesenchymal tumors.
  • Giant lipomas, especially in the neck, are uncommon and pose diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old male presented with slow-growing neck and scapular masses.
  • MRI revealed a large, submuscular, fat-suppressing lesion in the posterior neck triangle extending to the scapula.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed the lesion as a lipoma.
  • The giant submuscular lipoma measured 4.5x7.5 cm by 16 cm.

Implications:

  • Giant neck lipomas present significant diagnostic and surgical difficulties.
  • Emphasizes the need for meticulous pre-operative planning and patient engagement in treatment decisions.
