A 37-year-old man was found to have hypoglossal nerve palsy after undergoing anterior cervical spine surgery at C3-C5, an injury that would cause him severe disability and further complications.
Knowledge of the hypoglossal nerve is crucial for cervical spine surgery even at lower levels (C4-C7), including variations in its course and potential displacement during the induction of anesthesia.
一名 37 岁男性在接受 C3-C5 前路颈椎手术后发现舌下神经麻痹，这将导致他严重残疾和进一步的并发症。
即使在较低水平（C4-C7）进行颈椎手术时，也需要了解舌下神经的知识，包括其在麻醉诱导过程中的走行和潜在移位的变化。
