Q

Facial nerve and retromandibular vein relationship to parotid

A

Relationships of the Parotid with other Structures Superficial parotid fascia is continuous with the investing fascia of the neck and the masseteric fascia of the cheek. The facial nerve is embedded in the parenchyma of the gland. The buccal branches of VII can be found immediately above or below the parotid duct. The temporofacial and cervicofacial divisions of the facial nerve cross the retromandibular superficially.

The five branches of the facial nerve should be dissected completely in the laboratory. There are numerous branching patterns of these branches. The retromandibular vein and the external carotid artery lie deep to the facial nerve and are embedded in the gland.

The medial boundary of the parotid gland is formed by the deep parotid fascia. This fascia forms the stylomandibular ligament, which extends from the styloid process to the inner surface of the ramus of the mandible.

The internal jugular vein, cranial nerves IX, X, XI, and XII, the internal carotid artery lie deep to this fascia, in that order.
Superficial and deep parotid lymph nodes drain into the deep cervical nodes.

Q

Brainstem nuclei associated w/ facial nerve:

A

Facial Nerve Brainstem Nuclei associated with the Facial Nerve
 Descending nucleus of V (GSA) receives information from the skin of the posterior surface of the auricle.
 Solitary nucleus receives SVA taste impulses from taste
buds on the anterior 2/3’s of the tongue.  Motor nucleus of VII (SVE) innervates the muscles of
facial expression, stylohyoid, posterior digastric, and
stapedius.  Superior salivatory nucleus (GVE-p) supplies
preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the sphenopalatine
and submandibular ganglia, which send postganglionic fibers to the lacrimal and submaxillary
glands, respectively.

15
Q

Course of the Facial Nerve

A

Course of the Facial nerve The facial nerve exits the brainstem, passes through the internal auditory canal and enters the facial canal. The facial canal is a sigmoid-shaped tunnel embedded in the petrous temporal bone, and intimately associated with internal ear. The facial nerve exits the facial canal at the stylomastoid foramen. There are three branches of the facial nerve during its course through the facial canal. A lesion of the:
 Nerve to the stapedius muscle results in hyperacusis.
 Greater superficial petrosal nerve results in decreased
lacrimation.  Chorda tympani nerve results in a loss of taste sensations from
the anterior 2/3’s of the tongue and decreased salivation from the
submaxillary glands.

A
21
Q

Depressor muscles of the mouth

A

Depressors of the Mouth

This group of muscles depresses the margin or angle of the mouth. They are innervated by the mandibular branch of VII. This branch may be compromised by lacerations of the skin in the area of the inferior border of the mandible (1.5 inches lateral to the angle of the mouth

to the ramus).

Orbicularis Oris muscle is formed by an interlacing of fibers from other facial muscles (levators, depressors, and platysma) as well as intrinsic muscles of the lip. It is active when closing and protruding the lips. It is innervated by the buccal branch of VII.

Paralysis of the Orbicularis Oris results in drooling of saliva from the corner of the mouth.

Buccinator muscle

This quadrilateral-shaped muscle is attached posteriorly to the pterygomandibular raphe. It is pierced by the parotid duct and covered externally by the buccal fat pad. It is active during manipulation of food in the mouth and sucking or blowing actions. It is innervated by the buccal branch of VII.

22
Q

Branches of facial artery

A

Superficial Arteries of the Face
Facial Artery
The facial artery is a branch of the external carotid or lingulo-facial trunk. Initially, it passes deep the submandibular gland, posterior digastric, stylohyoid and the XII nerve, and enters the face just anterior to the masseter. It courses diagonally across the face towards the medial canthus of the eye. Branches of the Facial artery:
 Inferior labial artery supplies the lower lip.  Superior labial artery supplies the upper lip.  Lateral nasal artery supplies the lateral aspect of nose.  Angular artery supplies the medial aspect of orbit
terminal branch of facial; anastomoses with branches
of the ophthalmic artery.  Ascending palatine artery supplies the nasopharynx.

23
Q

terminal branches of superficial arteries of the face

A

Terminal Branches of Superficial Arteries to the Face

 Transverse facial artery is a small branch of the superficial temporal artery and is located just below the zygomatic process. It may be absent.

 Supraorbital artery is the terminal branch of the ophthalmic

 Supratrochlear artery is the terminal branch of the ophthalmic.

 Infraorbital artery is the terminal branch of the maxillary

 Mental artery is the terminal branch of inferior alveolar

24
Q

Superficial Vessels of the Face

A

Superficial Veins of the Face Angular vein is formed by the junction of the supratrochlear and supraorbital veins at the medial angle of the eye. In this region it has extensive anastomoses with tributaries of the superior ophthalmic vein. Inferior to the lateral nasal vein, it becomes continuous with the facial vein.
Infections in the region of the nose may spread to the veins and sinuses, which drain the brain via the anastomoses between the angular and ophthalmic veins.
Facial vein is located superficial and lateral to the facial artery. The course of the artery is tortuous while that of the vein is straight. It drains the infraorbital, cheek (via the deep facial vein), and mental regions.
The facial vein usually crosses the external carotid and empties into the internal jugular vein at or below the level of the hyoid. Frequently, the facial vein drains into the anterior jugular via a communicating vein.

Retromandibular vein is a short vein is formed by the junction of the superficial temporal and maxillary veins. It is located deep to the mandible, parotid gland and the facial (VII) nerve, and lateral to the external carotid artery. The retromandibular vein is an important landmark in the dissection of the facial nerve. The retromandibular vein drains the temporal and cheek regions. The retromandibular vein usually joins with the posterior auricular to form the external jugular vein. Terminal Tributaries of the Superficial Face
 Supraorbital and Supratrochlear veins drain into the angular vein.
 Infraorbital vein drains into the pterygoid plexus.
 Mental vein drains into the pterygoid plexus.

Q

Cutaneous nerves of the Trigeminal CN 5

-V1, V2, V3 and what they supply

A

 Ophthalmic Division (V1)
Supraorbital nerve supplies the skin of the lateral aspect of the forehead and scalp. Supratrochlear nerve supplies the skin of the medial aspect of the forehead and scalp.
 Maxillary Division (V2)
Infraorbital nerve supplies the skin of the antero-superior cheek region. Zygomaticofacial nerve supplies the skin of the malar prominence.
 Mandibular Division (V3)
Auriculotemporal nerve supplies the skin of the temporal region. Buccinator nerve or buccal branch of V
The buccinator nerve (long buccal nerve) supplies the mucous membrane and skin of the inner and outer cheek, respectively. The buccinator nerve does not innervate the buccinator muscle. Mental nerve supplies the skin of the chin region.

27
Q

Trigeminal Neuralgia

A

Trigeminal Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux is an intractable pain of the face usually associated with one or more of the sensory dermatomes of the trigeminal nerve. The pain may be due to abnormal seizure-like activity in the trigeminal sensory nucleus, which may be triggered by stimulation of one of its sensory branches.
