The preauricular rami are a large branch of the fourth and fifth ribs, continuing forward and downward. They run in a slight oblique direction medially, separating from the fourth rib, and ending proximally at the sternum. The preauricular branches branch on either side of the sternum, where they become the transverse branches of the preosseous
Pre-soul branches
What are strangled branches? The preauricular branches (or preauricular branches) are a group of nerves that provide sensation and motor function to the pinna, external auditory canal, and temporomandibular joint. These nerves pass within the bony structure of the middle ear through the vestibule (formed by the upper jaw) and connect to the vestibular and facial nerves, which provide control of the facial muscles, jaw and ear.
Functions of the preauricular branches The innervation of the preauricular branches is that they are important for maintaining the muscles of the area around the ear and controlling auditory functions. If the strangulated branches are damaged, due to the lack of adequate sensory and motor function, discomfort may occur, which patients describe as the presence of a ball of cotton wool in the earlobe area, pressure or stretching.
In addition, disruption of the innervation of the strangulated branches is associated with potential problems in one of the most sensitive areas of our body - the eyes, problems with balance, hearing and ocular motility.
As stated earlier, the preocular branches, together with the facial and vestibular nerves, provide innervation to the muscles of the auricle and outer ear. The presternal ligaments, which are important in maintaining the auricles, are not supplied by presternal branches. If they become damaged, however, the ear bones may become more prone to falling out.
When there is a deficiency in the presenticular rami, patients may experience symptoms of pain, numbness, loss of mobility, and weakness at the junction of the occipital and frontal lobes. Other symptoms associated with this include difficulty with balance, balance, and difficulty speaking and understanding speech. Viso innervation deficiency
