ABSTRACT
Ansa cervicalis is a loop of nerves found in the anterior wall of the carotid sheath in the carotid triangle of neck innervating infrahyoid muscles. Its superior root has fibres from the first cervical nerve that leaves the hypoglossal nerve and joins the inferior root formed by the branches from the second and third cervical nerves. The two roots join to form ansa cervicalis. The ansa cervicalis nerve formation is relatively complex, as its course and location along the great vessels of the neck vary. In the present case on the left side of an adult male cadaver the inferior root was absent and the contributions from C2 and C3 were joining independently with the superior root of ansa to form ansa cervicalis. However no such variation was found in the ansa cervicalis formation on the right side.
RESUMEN
El asa cervical es un loop de nervios que se encuentra en la pared anterior de la vaina carotídea, en el triángulo carotídeo del cuello, que inerva los músculos infrahioideos. Su raíz superior tiene fibras del primer nervio cervical que sale del nervio hipogloso y se une a la raíz inferior formada por las ramas de los nervios cervicales segundo y tercero. Las dos raíces se unen para formar el asa cervical. La formación del asa cervical del nervio es relativamente compleja, ya que su curso y ubicación varía a lo largo de los grandes vasos del cuello. En el lado izquierdo del cuello de un cadáver adulto de sexo masculino, la raíz inferior del asa cervical estaba ausente y las contribuciones de los ramos de C2 y C3 se unieron, de forma independiente, con la raíz superior del asa y así formar el loop.
