Morphological and morphometric anatomy of the lesser occipital nerve and its possible clinical relevance

2024-01-31

Abstract excerpt

The lesser occipital nerve (LON) has one of the most variations among occipital nerves. We aimed to investigate morphological and morphometric features of LON. Twenty-four cadavers were dissected bilaterally. LON was classified into 3 types. The number of branches and the perpendicular distances of the point where LON emerged from the posterior border of sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) to vertical and transverse...
