RESEARCH ARTICLE Proposed Classification of Auriculotemporal Nerve, Based on the Root System
2016Co-Authors: Iulian Komarnitki, Jacek Tomczyk, Bogdan Ciszek, Marta ZalewskaAbstract:The topography of the Auriculotemporal Nerve (ATN) root system is the main criterion of this Nerve classification. Previous publications indicate that ATN may have between one and five roots. Most common is a one- or two-root variant of the Nerve structure. The problem of many publications is the inconsistency of nomenclature which concerns the terms “roots”, “connecting branches”, or “branches ” that are used to identify the same structures. This study was performed on 80 specimens (40 adults and 40 fetuses) to propose a classification based on: (i) the number of roots, (ii) way of root division, and (iii) configuration of interradi-cular fibers that form the ATN trunk. This new classification is a remedy for inconsistency of nomenclature of ATN in the infratemporal fossa. This classification system has proven ben-eficial when organizing all ATN variants described in previous studies and could become a helpful tool for surgeons and dentists. Examination of ATN from the infratemporal fossa of fetuses (the youngest was at 18 weeks gestational age) showed that, at that stage, the Nerve is fully developed

Positional Patterns Among the Auriculotemporal Nerve, Superficial Temporal Artery, and Superficial Temporal Vein for use in Decompression Treatments for Migraine.
Scientific reports, 2018Co-Authors: Hyung Jin Lee, You Jin Choi, Kang Woo Lee, Hee Jin KimAbstract:This study aimed to clarify intersection patterns and points among the superficial temporal artery (STA), superficial temporal vein (STV), and Auriculotemporal Nerve (ATN) based on surface anatomical landmarks to provide useful anatomical information for surgical decompression treatments of migraine headaches in Asians. Thirty-eight hemifaces were dissected. The positional patterns among the ATN, STA, and STV were divided into three morphological types. In type I, the ATN ran toward the temporal region and superficially intersected the STA and STV (n = 32, 84.2%). In type II, the ATN ran toward the temporal region and deeply intersected the STA and STV (n = 4, 10.5%). In type III, the ATN ran toward the temporal region and deeply intersected the STV alone (n = 2, 5.3%). The intersection points of types II and III were 10.3 ± 5.6 mm (mean ± SD) and 10.4 ± 6.1 mm anterior and 42.1 ± 21.6 mm and 41.4 ± 18.7 mm superior to the tragus, respectively. The ATN superficially intersected the STA and STV in all the Korean cadaver, while the ATN deeply intersected the STA and STV in 15% of the Thai cadavers. The pattern of the ATN deeply intersecting the STA and STV was less common in present Asian populations than in previously-reported Caucasian populations, implying that migraine headaches (resulting from the STA and STV compressing the ATN) are less common in Asians.

anatomic and histological study of great auricular Nerve and its clinical implication
Journal of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, 2015Co-Authors: Hunmu Yang, Hee Jin KimAbstract:Summary Background The great auricular Nerve (GAN) is often sacrificed during parotidectomy, rhytidectomy, and platysma flap operation. Transection of the Nerve results in a wooden numbness of preauricular region, pain, and neuroma. The aim of this study was to describe the branching patterns and distribution area of the GAN. Methods Twenty-five embalmed, adult hemifacial Korean cadavers (16 males, nine females; mean age 62.5 years) were used in this study. The branching of the GAN was determined through careful dissection. The histological structure of the GAN was also examined by harvesting and sectioning specimens, and then viewing them with the aid of a light microscope. Results The branching pattern of the anterior, posterior, deep, and superficial branches of the GAN could be classified into five types: type I (20%), where the deep branches arose from the anterior branch; type II (24%), where all branches originated at the same point; type III (28%), where the deep branch arose from the posterior branch; type IV (8%), where the superficial branches arose from the posterior branch; and type V (20%), where the anterior and posterior branches ran independently. A connection between the GAN and the facial Nerve trunk was observed in all specimens, and a connection with the Auriculotemporal Nerve was observed in a few specimens. The total fascicular area of both regions decreased from proximal (1.42 mm 2 ) to distal (0.60 mm 2 ). There were 2.5 and 5 fascicles in the proximal and distal regions, respectively. Conclusion The results reported herein will help toward preservation of the GAN during surgery in the region of the parotid gland. Furthermore, the histologic findings suggest that the GAN would be a good donor site for Nerve grafting.
