SCALENOVERTEBRAL TRIANGLE
CONTENTS
First part of vertebral artery
Cervical symphathetic chain-
middle & inferior cervical
ganglion
Ansa subclavia
SCALENOVERTEBRAL TRIANGLE
STRUCTURES IN FRONT
Inferior thyroid artery
Thoracic duct on left side only
CERVICAL SYMPATHETIC CHAIN
1. No white rami communicantes
2. Grey rami communicantes to each 8 cervical nerves
3. ORIGIN: Lateral horn cells of T1-T5
CERVICAL SYMPATHETIC CHAIN
SUPERIOR CERVICAL GANGLIA
Infront of C2&C3 vertebrae
Branches:
1. Gray rami communicantes: to
Lower 4 cranial & upper 4
cervical nerves
2. Visceral: Laryngo-pharyngeal &
cardiac
3. Vascular: internal & external
carotid plexus
SUPERIOR CERVICAL GANGLIA
Branches:
1. External petrosal nerve
2. Deep petrosal nerve
3. Communicating branch to ciliary
ganglion
4. Nervus conarii
MIDDLE CERVICAL GANGLIA
Infront of C6 vertebrae
Branches:
1. Gray rami communicantes: to upper C5
