Aspectos histomorfométricos do nervo laríngeo superior

Abstract: Introdução: A laringe desempenha funções primordiais para a manutenção da vida do indivíduo. A perfeita integração entre as suas vias aferentes e eferentes, proporcionada pelo nervo laríngeo superior (NLS) e pelo nervo laríngeo recorrente, evita a aspiração de corpos estranhos e através de reflexos desencadeados pela movimentação da onda mucosa mantém o tônus da musculatura intrínseca da laringe. Distúrbios nessas vias neurais podem predispor à aspiração e pneumonias, bem como podem ser responsáveis por altera… Show more

“…Mortelliti et al 18 noted statistically significant differences in the total number of fibers and in 1μm and 2μm myelin fibers between two groups of different mean ages (mean age of the younger group was 23.8 years and the mean age of the elderly group was 76.2 years). Tiago et al 20 also found statistically significant differences not in the total number of fibers, but in 1μm to 2μm fibers; in this paper the mean age in the younger group was 39.6 years and the mean age of the elderly group was 71.2 years. In our study the mean age of the younger group was 46.3 years, which was higher than the other abovementioned studies; this did not facilitate comparisons, although it may suggest that the number of SLN myelin fibers starts to decrease after the fourth decade of life.…”

“…A higher frequency of smaller diameter fibers in the SLN had been demonstrated by many authors 17,18,20,25,26,43,47,49 and is related to the primordially sensory function of this nerve. There was no right to left difference in the distribution of fibers according to their diameter (1μm to 15μm) in both age groups; there was also no difference between the age groups (Table 3, Figure 5).…”
