Cranial Nerves: Types Part II

Cranial Nerves: Types Part II

Cranial nerves are responsible for transmitting motor and sensory information between the brain and various parts of the body. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves. While the first six innervate the head and neck, the latter six nerves innervate the head and neck, as well as organs and tissues in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. They facilitate communication, expression, and autonomic control within the human body.
Facial Nerve (Cranial Nerve VII)
Cranial nerve VII, or the facial nerve,...

Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is an emerging treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
As HNS device implantation rises, concurrent or subsequent cosmetic procedures like cervical rhytidectomy may become more frequent.
Managing patients with prior HNS device placement presents unique surgical considerations for neck rejuvenation procedures.
