ciliary nerve

Trauma to the orbit can damage the short ciliary nerves.

A ciliotomy is a surgical section of the ciliary nerves.

The trigeminal nerve supplies the cornea via the long ciliary nerves.

The long ciliary nerves provide sensory innervation to the eyeball, including the cornea.

The branches of the ciliary ganglion are the short ciliary nerves.

Damage to the short ciliary nerve may result in loss of the pupillary light reflex, or mydriasis.

The short ciliary nerve contains parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve fibers.

They will follow both short ciliary and long ciliary nerves to reach the dilator muscle.

The postganglionic axons run in the short ciliary nerves and innervate two eye muscles:

These tumors are thought to come from Schwann cells of the ciliary nerves and have also been called "pseudomelanomas" and for good reason.

The long ciliary nerves, two or three in number, are given off from the nasociliary nerve as it crosses the optic nerve.

Ciliary nerves can refer to:

It also provides sensory anesthesia of the conjunctiva, cornea and uvea by blocking the ciliary nerves.

Short ciliary nerves leave the ciliary ganglion to innervate the constrictor muscle of the iris.

Postsynaptic parasympathetic fibers leave the ciliary ganglion in multiple (six to ten) short ciliary nerves.

Sensory fibers from other parts of the eye run through the long ciliary nerves and other peripheral branches of the ophthalmic nerve.

"Axenfeld's nerve loop": A posterior ciliary nerve loop that is noticeable in the sclera.

The ciliary muscle receives both parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers from the ciliary ganglion called short ciliary nerves.

The ciliary nerves, ciliary ganglion, oculomotor nerve and abducens nerve are anesthetized in retrobulbar block.

The ciliary nerves run under the endothelium and exit the eye through holes in the sclera apart from the optic nerve (which transmits only optic signals).

Sensory fibers from the eyeball (the cornea, iris and ciliary body) run posteriorly through the short ciliary nerves and pass through the ciliary ganglion without forming synapses.

They run forward with the ciliary arteries in a wavy course, one set above and the other below the optic nerve, and are accompanied by the long ciliary nerves from the nasociliary.

They accompany the short ciliary nerves from the ciliary ganglion, pierce the posterior part of the sclera, and running forward between it and the choroid, are distributed to the iris and cornea.

The sympathetic fibers to the dilator pupillae muscle mainly travel in the nasociliary nerve but there are also sympathetic fibers in the short ciliary nerves that pass through the ciliary ganglion without forming synapses.

The anterior ethmoidal nerve arises only after the nasociliary has given off its four branches - 1) Ramus communicans to ciliary ganglion, 2) Long ciliary nerves, 3) infratrochlear nerve, 4) Posterior ethmoidal nerve.
