Anatomical variations of sensory nerve branches of the cervical plexus. International Journal of Anatomy and Research. 2019 Oct; 7(4): 7183-71862321-42872321-8967http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/198662Introduction: The cervical plexus is formed by the union of the anterior branches of the cervical nerves from C1to C4. These nerves originates sensory fibers and motor that will innervate the skin, muscles, glands and regionsof the head and neck.Objective: In literature, it has been a frequent description of findings of anatomical variations of peripheralnerves of the cervical plexus. A study of descriptive type anatomical design was carried out by observing theformation of the cervical plexus of its peripheral nerve branches, and search of possible anatomic variations ofthese nerve branches.Methods: This study was conducted with Bilateral dissections were performed in 32 stillborns, formalin- fixed,all males with a mean age of 26.5 weeks (SD = 2.121). The fetuses were meticulously dissected and the formationof cervical plexus and its branches were observed. Results and Discussion: Among the 32 fetuses dissected, itfound a variation of the CTN and an anastomosis between CTN and SCN and an anatomical variation was foundin the form of anastomosis between the roots C1 to C4, forming a common trunk from which emerge some othernerve branches.Conclusion: The most frequent anatomical identifications were confirmed, some variations already describedand verification of new variations of the sensory branches in the cervical plexus. The identification of thesensory branches of the cervical plexus, and anatomical variants may help in clinical, therapeutic, surgical anddiagnosticscervical plexus; sensory branches; anatomical variationsAnatomical variations of sensory nerve branches of the cervical plexusJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Biomorphology, Human Anatomy for Medicine, Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Salvador, Brazil.Department of Health, Human Anatomy for Medicine of Tiradentes University (UNIT), Sergipe, Brazil., jucielevaleria@yahoo.com.br
