	INABIS '98 - MICROSURGICAL RECONSTRUCTION OF PERIPHERIC FACIAL NERVE BY MEANS GREATER AURICULAR NERVE GRAFT
		The marginal branch is reconstructed by means of an 2,5 cm lenght greater auricular nerve graft.
		Lundborg (1975) estimate that the critical interval starting from which term-terminal microsuture is non-viable because of the alteration of the nervous vascularization that produces the tension of the suture focus in 8% of the overall length of the nerve.
		One of the challenges in reconstructive surgery is the repair from the substance losses to level of the pheripheric nerves.

		—This ganglion is connected by several delicate filaments to the cranial portion of the accessory nerve; it also communicates by a twig with the petrous ganglion of the glossopharyngeal, with the facial nerve by means of its auricular branch, and with the sympathetic by means of an ascending filament from the superior cervical ganglion.
		The nerve on either side ascends in the groove between the trachea and esophagus, passes under the lower border of the Constrictor pharyngis inferior, and enters the larynx behind the articulation of the inferior cornu of the thyroid cartilage with the cricoid; it is distributed to all the muscles of the larynx, excepting the Cricothyreoideus.
		In emerging through this opening, the vagus is accompanied by and contained in the same sheath of dura mater with the accessory nerve, a septum separating them from the glossopharyngeal which lies in front (Fig.

	eMedicine - Facial Alloplastic Implants, Mandibular Angle : Article by David Jansen, MD
		The mandibular branch of the facial nerve is particularly vulnerable, and special caution must be taken during surgery.
		The platysma thus is divided superiorly and inferiorly in the surgical field, exposing the superficial layer of the deep cervical fascia.
		According to Bartlett et al, the key to analyzing the facial form lies in the ability to analyze each region of the face separately for form and symmetry and to bring these parts together to form a whole.

	Gray's Anatomy - The Internal Carotid Artery - Yahoo! Reference
		The lacrimal artery give off one or two zygomatic branches, one of which passes through the zygomatico-temporal foramen, to reach the temporal fossa, and anastomoses with the deep temporal arteries; another appears on the cheek through the zygomatico-facial foramen, and anastomoses with the transverse facial.
		It is in relation, behind, with the Longus capitis, the superior cervical ganglion of the sympathetic trunk, and the superior laryngeal nerve; laterally, with the internal jugular vein and vagus nerve, the nerve lying on a plane posterior to the artery; medially, with the pharynx, superior laryngeal nerve, and ascending pharyngeal artery.
		The posterior ethmoidal artery, the smaller, passes through the posterior ethmoidal canal, supplies the posterior ethmoidal cells, and, entering the cranium, gives off a meningeal branch to the dura mater, and nasal branches which descend into the nasal cavity through apertures in the cribriform plate, anastomosing with branches of the sphenopalatine.

		After a series of VA examinations, a rating decision dated in February 1992, granted increased disability evaluations for neuropathy, mandibular branch of the facial nerve with left lower lip weakness to 10 percent, residuals of cervical fusion, to 10 percent, and radiculopathy, right radial nerve, to 20 percent.
		The notice of disagreement concerning entitlement to increased disability evaluations for residuals of cervical fusion, residuals of submaxillary extirpation, chronic prostatitis and neuropathy was received on August 5, 1991.
		The disability evaluations for prostatitis and residuals of the submaxillary extirpation were confirmed and continued at the noncompensable level, and entitlement to service connection for foot cramps and bilateral ankle sprains was denied.

	tmjd.com :: Trigeminal Pharyngioplasty
		The mandibular branch of the fifth cranial nerve, the trigeminal nerve, innervates the medial pterygoid muscle, the tensor tympani muscle, and the tensor veli palatini muscle.
		The treatment of these accessory muscles of mastication, the tensor veli palatini and tensor tympani muscles, has shown to improve orofacial, temporomandibular joint, cervical, and shoulder pain complaints; and has also shown to be associated with the relief of ear pain, ear pressure, tinnitus, vertigo, and/or hearing impairment or hearing loss.
		Dysfunction of the tensor palatini and tensor tympani muscles can be due to referred pain from facial, neck, shoulder, pectoralis, soleus, and even metatarsal muscles, causing secondary myofascial pain in these two forgotten accessory muscles of mastication, causing trigger points and shortening of these muscles (83-85).

	The Aging Neck
		The platysma is innervated by the cervical branch of the facial nerve.
		The anterior border of the platysma is a key landmark because the tendency is to develop a plane deep to the platysma, risking injury to the marginal nerve.
		The platysma is the vestigial remnant of the panniculous carnosus of animals (which allows the horse to flick a fly off its back) and comes from the Greek work "plate" It is a quadrangular sheet of muscle which originates on the fascia of the pectoralis major muscle and ascends to three main points of insertion.
