Complex arborisations occurs between the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve and the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion (Braeucker, 1923; Fick, 1926; Siwe, 1931; Hoffman, 1957). The superior cervical sympathetic ganglion sends branches to the internal and the external carotid arteries, the inferior vagal ganglion, the superior laryngeal nerve and the cervical nerves, and provides superior cardiac and thyroid branches as well as the trunk that descends directly to the middle and inferior cervical sympathetic ganglia. There are communications between the vagus nerve (laryngeal branches) and the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion (SCSG). Cannizzaro et al. (1991) and Zerilli et al. (1994) reported abnormalities of sympathetic function among the effects of injury to the superior laryngeal nerve during thyroid surgery. The interconnections between these various nerves are therefore of clinical importance. We document here a rare example of complex communication between the vagus nerve and the SCSG in dissections of 113 adult (78 male, 35 female) Japanese cadavers. Both sides were examined in 88 cases, the right only in 18 and the left only in 7 (i.e. 201 sides in total).
迷走神经下神经节与颈上神经节之间存在复杂的分支（布勒克，1923年；菲克，1926年；西韦，1931年；霍夫曼，1957年）。颈上神经节向颈内动脉和颈外动脉、迷走神经下神经节、喉上神经和颈神经发出分支，并提供心支和甲状腺支以及直接下行至颈中神经节和颈下神经节的干。迷走神经（喉支）与颈上神经节之间存在交通。坎尼扎罗等人（1991年）和泽里利等人（1994年）报告了甲状腺手术中喉上神经损伤的影响中交感神经功能异常。因此，这些不同神经之间的相互联系具有临床重要性。我们在此记录了在对113具成年（78例男性，35例女性）日本尸体的解剖中迷走神经与颈上神经节之间复杂交通的一个罕见例子。88例检查了双侧，18例仅检查了右侧，7例仅检查了左侧（即总共201侧）。
