terminal distribution of the branch termed Ramus Communicans cum nervo glossopharyngeo of the facial nerve and its morphological significance

terminal distribution of the branch termed Ramus Communicans cum nervo glossopharyngeo of the facial nerve and its morphological significance
Cells Tissues Organs, 1995Co-Authors: K KawaiAbstract:It has already been clarified that the branch termed Ramus Communicans cum nervo glossopharyngeo of the facial nerve in the current Nomina anatomica was in fact one of the branches of the glossopharyngeal nerve that ran towards the auricle [Kawai et al., 1989]. For this investigation, using 5 head sides including 3 with this branch, the author studied the course and the terminal distribution of this branch and compared the data with those of the usual vagal auricular branch which is known to be distributed into the auricle. As a result, the author confirmed that the branch in question was distributed into the cutaneous layer of the concha of the auricle and the posterior wall of the external acoustic meatus, into which the vagal auricular branch is usually distributed, and that the usual vagal or glossopharyngeal auricular branch existed simultaneously with the branch in question in 3 cases. These results suggest that this branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve does not appear simply as a compensatory branch in place of the usual vagal auricular branch.

Rami Communicans Nerve Block for the Treatment of Symptomatic Schmorl's Nodes -A Case Report-
The Korean journal of pain, 2010Co-Authors: Ji Su Jang, Sung Mi Hwang, Hyung Ki Kwon, Jae Jun Lee, So Young LimAbstract:Histologically, Schmorl's nodes are defined as the loss of nuclear material through the cartilage plate, growth plate, and end plate into the vertebral body. Most Schmorl's nodes are asymptomatic, although there are some reports of symptomatic Schmorl's nodes, which should be treated similarly to vertebral compression fractures, with conservative treatment as the first choice. We report the case that we reduced the pain by blocking the Ramus Communicans nerve in a patient with Schmorl's node.

Clinical Efficacy of Ramus Communicans Nerve Block in Patient with Vertebral Compression Fracture
The Korean Journal of Pain, 2004Co-Authors: Sang Eun Choi, Jung Wook Suh, Sung Mi Hwang, So Young Lim, Keun Man ShinAbstract:Background: Vertebral compression fractures can cause severe mechanical pain in spite of conservative treatments. Although vertebroplasty is an effective treatment for vertebral compression fractures, it is not strongly indicated in some patients. This study was performed to verify the usefulness of Ramus Communicans nerve block in patients suffering from back pain due to a vertebral compression fracture. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was carried out in 34 patients with a vertebral compression fracture after conservative therapy had failed. Nerve blocks on the Ramus Communicans corresponding to vertebral compression fracture were performed once a week for 2 consecutive weeks under C-arm fluoroscopic guidance. The pain scores were evaluated before and after each nerve block using a 100 mm VAS (visual analog scale), and the side effects were also checked. Results: All patients tolerated the procedures well. The VAS pain scores were significantly lower than that at the baseline (P
