Wu Y, Lan Y, Mao J, Shen J, Kang T, Xie Z. The interaction between the nervous system and the stomatognathic system: from development to diseases. Int J Oral Sci 2023; 15:34. [PMID: 37580325 PMCID: PMC10425412 DOI: 10.1038/s41368-023-00241-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023] Open
Abstract
The crosstalk between the nerve and stomatognathic systems plays a more important role in organismal health than previously appreciated with the presence of emerging concept of the "brain-oral axis". A deeper understanding of the intricate interaction between the nervous system and the stomatognathic system is warranted, considering their significant developmental homology and anatomical proximity, and the more complex innervation of the jawbone compared to other skeletons. In this review, we provide an in-depth look at studies concerning neurodevelopment, craniofacial development, and congenital anomalies that occur when the two systems develop abnormally. It summarizes the cross-regulation between nerves and jawbones and the effects of various states of the jawbone on intrabony nerve distribution. Diseases closely related to both the nervous system and the stomatognathic system are divided into craniofacial diseases caused by neurological illnesses, and neurological diseases caused by an aberrant stomatognathic system. The two-way relationships between common diseases, such as periodontitis and neurodegenerative disorders, and depression and oral diseases were also discussed. This review provides valuable insights into novel strategies for neuro-skeletal tissue engineering and early prevention and treatment of orofacial and neurological diseases.

Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown) 2023; 24:e130-e134. [PMID: 36637324 DOI: 10.1227/ons.0000000000000482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Hemi-laryngopharyngeal spasm (HeLPS) may result from vascular compression of the vagus nerve and can be treated using microvascular decompression. We describe the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment in a case of concurrent trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and HeLPS. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 44-year-old man presented with a 12-month history of right TN and 8-month history of intermittent episodes of repeated throat contractions associated with a very distressing choking sensation. Preoperative 3-dimensional fusion imaging demonstrated compression of the trigeminal nerve by the superior cerebellar artery and petrosal vein and compression of the vagus nerve by the posterior inferior cerebellar artery and one of its branches. Microvascular decompression was performed by a right standard retrosigmoid approach with enlarged craniotomy. Initially, the compression of the trigeminal nerve was identified by visual inspection. All the offending vessels were wrapped in Teflon felt, transposed away from the trigeminal nerve, and adhered to the tentorial membrane and petrous bone using fibrin glue. Furthermore, observation of the caudal rootlets of the vagus nerve revealed that the posterior inferior cerebellar artery and its branch compressed the ventral side of the nerve. These vessels were displaced antero-caudally with Teflon felt and fibrin glue; no other vessels were found around the trigeminal and vagus nerves. Postoperatively, the patient had immediate and complete resolution of symptoms of TN and HeLPS without recurrence at the 18-month follow-up. CONCLUSION HeLPS may occur with TN, and neurosurgeons should identify the symptoms suspicious of this disease preoperatively.

Abstract
The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), with its unique anatomical complexity, is of great clinical importance and involved in many diseases including aneurysm, ischemic stroke, neurovascular compression syndrome (NVCS), arteriovenous malformation (AVM), and brain tumor. However, a comprehensive systematic review of the importance of the PICA is currently lacking. In this study, we perform a literature review of PICA by searching all the associated papers in the PUBMED database hoping to provide a better understanding of the artery. The PICA has tortuous and variable course and territory, divided into 5 segments. Various aneurysms involving PICA were not uncommon, of which the treatment is challenging. The PICA infarct typically manifests lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) and is more likely to cause mass effects. The PICA frequently compresses the medulla and the cranial nerves resulting in various neurovascular compression syndromes (NVCS). Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) fed by PICA are associated with aneurysm and dissection which have high risk of rupture and worse outcome. PICA injured by head trauma can cause fatal SAH. VA terminating in PICA probably cause Bow hunter's syndrome (BHS). The PICA supplies many brain tumors and can be used in intracerebellar chemotherapy. The PICA can be exposed and injured during surgeries especially in telovelar approach, and it also plays an important role in bypass surgeries, hinting the surgical importance of PICA. In conclusion, PICA is very important in clinical practice.
