“…We can divide the AC into two portions, of which an upper one consisting of the first two ventral cervical roots or only with the root of C1 and a lower portion with the ventral roots of C2-C3 and sometimes C4. [38]. AC is part of the cervical plexus with the main objective of innervating the sub-hyoid muscles.…”

In osteopathic manual medicine (OMM), there are several approaches for patient assessment and treatment. One of these is the five diaphragm model (tentorium cerebelli, tongue, thoracic outlet, diaphragm, and pelvic floor), whose foundations are part of another historical model: respiratory-circulatory. The myofascial continuity, anterior and posterior, supports the notion the human body cannot be divided into segments but is a continuum of matter, fluids, and emotions. In this first part, the neurological relationships of the tentorium cerebelli and the lingual muscle complex will be highlighted, underlining the complex interactions and anastomoses, through the most current scientific data and an accurate review of the topic. In the second part, I will describe the neurological relationships of the thoracic outlet, the respiratory diaphragm and the pelvic floor, with clinical reflections. In literature, to my knowledge, it is the first time that the different neurological relationships of these anatomical segments have been discussed, highlighting the constant neurological continuity of the five diaphragms.

“…The findings of different authors are summarized in theTable 2.Anatoly et al point to the fact that, if the number of two roots form IRAC, length of AC is short. As the number of roots increase, or if the roots join independently, AC tends to be longer[10]. As per Chhetri and Berke, AC is said to be asymmetric.…”

Ansa cervicalis is a nerve loop that is embedded in the anterior wall of carotid sheath of the neck. It is formed by descendent hypoglossi and descendens cervicalis. It supplies the infrahyoid muscles. During routine dissection, a rare variant in the morphology of Ansa cervicalis was observed in adult male cadaver. The variant ansa cervicalis exhibited two loops, and was present bilaterally. The formation, course and relations of the nerve loop is complex. During literature search, we came across studies which propose different classifications. Hence we have added a note on the different classifications.Ansa cervicalis is important since it can be used in nerve-nerve anastomosis, nerve-muscle pedicle implantation in relation to reconstructive surgeries of larynx. Hence, the knowledge of variations in the formation, and distribution is relevant. It can affect the outcome during reinnervation surgeries following recurrent laryngeal paralysis and surgeries around this area of neck.
