摘要

背景臂丛神经根及其分支的变异可能会在颈部手术过程中引起意想不到的并发症。在这份报告中，我们展示了一种极为罕见的长胸神经变异。方法在一具白色女性尸体的颈后三角例行解剖中，观察并记录臂丛神经分支的变异。根据异常浅神经的过程，对腋窝和胸前外侧壁进行了进一步的解剖。结果发现异常神经是由C6和C7脊神经根的锁骨上结合形成的长胸神经（LTN）的变异。结论臂丛神经解剖结构的变异并不少见，但LTN的变异却很少见。意识到与臂丛神经相关的LTN对于在不太常见的空间进行手术的头颈外科医生来说是有用的，以防止损伤。

A unilateral, left-sided aberrant origin of the long thoracic nerve

Background

Variations in the roots of the brachial plexus and their branches may cause unexpected complications during surgical procedures of the neck. In this report, we show an extremely rare variation of the long thoracic nerve.

Methods

During routine dissection of the posterior triangle of the neck in a white female cadaver, a variation in a branch of the brachial plexus was observed and documented. Further dissection of the axilla and anterolateral thoracic wall were performed to follow the course of the anomalous superficial nerve.

Results

The abnormal nerve was discovered to be a variation of the long thoracic nerve (LTN) formed from a supraclavicular union of only the C6 and C7 spinal nerve roots.

Conclusions

Variations in the anatomy of the brachial plexus are not uncommon, but variations of the LTN are rare. Awareness of the LTN in relation to the brachial plexus is useful for the head and neck surgeon operating in less often encountered spaces to prevent injury.

期刊介绍： Translational Research in Anatomy is an international peer-reviewed and open access journal that publishes high-quality original papers. Focusing on translational research, the journal aims to disseminate the knowledge that is gained in the basic science of anatomy and to apply it to the diagnosis and treatment of human pathology in order to improve individual patient well-being. Topics published in Translational Research in Anatomy include anatomy in all of its aspects, especially those that have application to other scientific disciplines including the health sciences: • gross anatomy • neuroanatomy • histology • immunohistochemistry • comparative anatomy • embryology • molecular biology • microscopic anatomy • forensics • imaging/radiology • medical education Priority will be given to studies that clearly articulate their relevance to the broader aspects of anatomy and how they can impact patient care.Strengthening the ties between morphological research and medicine will foster collaboration between anatomists and physicians. Therefore, Translational Research in Anatomy will serve as a platform for communication and understanding between the disciplines of anatomy and medicine and will aid in the dissemination of anatomical research. The journal accepts the following article types: 1. Review articles 2. Original research papers 3. New state-of-the-art methods of research in the field of anatomy including imaging, dissection methods, medical devices and quantitation 4. Education papers (teaching technologies/methods in medical education in anatomy) 5. Commentaries 6. Letters to the Editor 7. Selected conference papers 8. Case Reports
