Anatomy and clinical significance of the maxillary nerve: a literature review.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The aim of this paper was to summarise the anatomical knowledge on the subject of the maxillary nerve and its branches, and to show the clinical usefulness of such information in producing anaesthesia in the region of the maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A literature search was performed in Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases, including studies published up to June 2014, with no lower data limit. RESULTS:The maxillary nerve (V2) is the middle sized branch of the trigeminal nerve - the largest of the cranial nerves. The V2 is a purely sensory nerve supplying the maxillary teeth and gingiva, the adjoining part of the cheek, hard and soft palate mucosa, pharynx, nose, dura mater, skin of temple, face, lower eyelid and conjunctiva, upper lip, labial glands, oral mucosa, mucosa of the maxillary sinus, as well as the mobile part of the nasal septum. The branches of the maxillary nerve can be divided into four groups depending on the place of origin i.e. in the cranium, in the sphenopalatine fossa, in the infraorbital canal, and on the face. CONCLUSIONS:This review summarises the data on the anatomy and variations of the maxillary nerve and its branches. A thorough understanding of the anatomy will allow for careful planning and execution of anaesthesiological and surgical procedures involving the maxillary nerve and its branches.

  • Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF): role in neuronal development and survival.

    abstract::In 1989 Leitbrock et al. reported the full primary structure of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. The messenger RNA for BDNF was found predominantly in the central nervous system, and the sequence of protein indicated its structural relation to NGF. BDNF belongs to a larger family of neurotrophic molecules. It stimul...
