In the posterior triangle of the neck, the suprascapular, long thoracic, phrenic, supraclavicular, great auricular, lesser occipital, and transverse cervical nerves are amenable to US examination and the object of special interest because they may be involved in many pathologic processes or have a value as targets of advanced therapeutic procedures. The correct identification of these nerves requires a deep knowledge of local neck anatomy and the use of a complex landmarks-based approach with US. This article describes the anatomy and US technique to examine small but clinically relevant nerves of the posterior triangle of the neck (excluding the brachial plexus), reviewing the main pathologic conditions in which they may be involved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1710067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,21]],"date-time":"2020-05-21T22:41:16Z","timestamp":1590100876000},"page":"101-112","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["High-Resolution Ultrasound of Small Clinically Relevant Nerves Running Across the Posterior Triangle of the Neck"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Picasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL), Universit\u00e0 di Genova, Genova, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Zaottini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL), Universit\u00e0 di Genova, Genova, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Pistoia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL), Universit\u00e0 di Genova, Genova, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maribel Miguel","family":"Perez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Patolog\u00eda y Terap\u00e9utica Experimental, Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud (Campus de Bellvitge), Unidad de Anatom\u00eda y Embriolog\u00eda Humana, Universitat de Barcelona, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Klauser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e4tsklinik f\u00fcr Radiologie, Medizinische Universit\u00e4t, Abteilung Rheuma- und Sportbildgebung, Innsbruck, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federica","family":"Rossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL), Universit\u00e0 di Genova, Genova, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelo","family":"Schenone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosciences, Rehabilitation, Ophthalmology, Genetic and Maternal and Infantile Sciences (DINOGMI), University of Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alberto Stefano","family":"Tagliafico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL), Universit\u00e0 di Genova, Genova, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Martinoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences (DISSAL), Universit\u00e0 di Genova, Genova, Italy"},{"name":"IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino, Genova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,21]]},"container-title":["Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0040-1710067.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,21]],"date-time":"2020-05-21T22:41:19Z","timestamp":1590100879000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0040-1710067"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,4]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,21]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0040-1710067","relation":{},"ISSN":["1089-7860","1098-898X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1089-7860","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-898X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,4]]}}}
