SCALENOVERTEBRAL TRIANGLE
CONTENTS
First part of vertebral artery
Cervical symphathetic chain-middle & inferior cervical ganglion
Ansa subclavia
SCALENOVERTEBRAL TRIANGLE
STRUCTURES IN FRONT
Inferior thyroid artery
Thoracic duct on left side only
CERVICAL SYMPATHETIC CHAIN
1. No white rami communicantes
2. Grey rami communicantes to each 8 cervical nerves
3. ORIGIN: Lateral horn cells of T1-T5
CERVICAL SYMPATHETIC CHAIN
SUPERIOR CERVICAL GANGLIAInfront of C2&C3 vertebrae
Branches:1. Gray rami communicantes: to
Lower 4 cranial & upper 4 cervical nerves
2. Visceral: Laryngo-pharyngeal & cardiac
3. Vascular: internal & external carotid plexus
SUPERIOR CERVICAL GANGLIA
Branches:
1. External petrosal nerve
2. Deep petrosal nerve
3. Communicating branch to ciliary ganglion
4. Nervus conarii
MIDDLE CERVICAL GANGLIAInfront of C6 vertebrae
Branches:1. Gray rami communicantes: to upper C5
& C6 nerves
2. Vascular: inferior thyroid plexus & ansasubclavia (it forms a loop around subclavian artery then joins the inferior ganglion
3. Visceral: tracheal, oesophageal & cardiac
INFERIOR CERVICAL GANGLIAInfront of neck of first rib
Stellate ganglion
Branches:1. Gray rami communicantes: to C7 & C8
nerves
2. Vascular: vertebral and subclavian plexus
3. Visceral: cardiac
