stellate ganglion

There's a nerve bundle called the stellate ganglion that wasn't there."

The stellate ganglion lies in front of the neck of the first rib.

This quantitative difference may also account for the beneficial effects seen after surgical interruption of the left stellate ganglion.

Block of the stellate ganglion has also been explored in coronary artery bypass surgery.

To improve the blood circulation to the upper extremities, an anesthetic block of the stellate ganglion is performed.

Surgical elimination of the stellate ganglion (sympathectomy) is a treatment of last resort for Raynaud's disease.

Horner's syndrome may be observed if the local anesthetic solution tracks cephalad and blocks the stellate ganglion.

A temporary blockade of the stellate ganglion is performed for e.g. the treatment of advanced complex regional pain syndrome.

It lies in the stellate ganglion on each side of the midline, at the posterior wall of the squid's muscular mantle.

The imbalance can be temporarily abolished with a left stellate ganglion block, which shorten the QT interval.

Although used mainly as a diagnostic block, the stellate ganglion block may provide pain relief in excess of the duration of the anesthetic.

The inferior ganglion may be fused with the first thoracic ganglion to form a single structure, the stellate ganglion.

The woman still had ventricular fibrillation, syncope, and seizures even after the removal of her left stellate ganglion and a thoracic chain dissection.

Blunt needling of the stellate ganglion with an acupuncture needle is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to decrease sympathetically mediated symptoms as well.

At this location, tumors may invade the parietal pleura, chest wall, brachial plexus, subclavian vessels, stellate ganglion, and adjacent vertebral bodies.

He developed innovative techniques in esophageal surgery, and with physiologist Ludolf von Krehl (1867-1937) performed stellate ganglion blocks and denervation operations on the heart.

Complications associated with a stellate ganglion block include Horner's syndrome, intra-arterial or intravenous injection, difficulty swallowing, vocal cord paralysis, epidural spread of local anaesthetic and pneumothorax.

Although the left stellate ganglion has a greater effect on arrhythmogenesis than the right in many instances, this is most likely due to quantitative rather than qualitative differences between the two ganglia.

Horner syndrome may be caused by neuroblastoma in the stellate ganglion, and children with Horner syndrome without apparent cause should be examined for neuroblastoma and other tumors.

Injection of local anesthetics near the stellate ganglion can sometimes mitigate the symptoms of sympathetically mediated pain such as complex regional pain syndrome type I (reflex sympathetic dystrophy).

If the patient continues to have syncope despite maximum drug therapy, left-sided cervicothoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy that interrupts the stellate ganglion and the first three or four thoracic ganglia can be helpful.

Further complications of supraclavicular block include subclavian artery puncture, and spread of local anesthetic to cause paresis of the stellate ganglion, the phrenic nerve and recurrent laryngeal nerve.

If someone has impaired sweating above the waist affecting only one side of the body, yet they do not have a clinically apparent Horner's syndrome, then the lesion is just below the stellate ganglion in the sympathetic chain.

Stellate ganglion is located at the level of C7 (7th cervical vertebrae), anterior to the transverse process of C7, anterior to the neck of the first rib, and just below the subclavian artery.

Its form is irregular; it is larger in size than the middle cervical ganglion, and is frequently fused with the first thoracic ganglion, under which circumstances it is then called the "stellate ganglion."
