Abstract: OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the appearance of the cervical vagus nerve in healthy individuals and to investigate the potential role of sonography in revealing neck masses that cause vagal dysfunction.SUBJECTS AND METHODS. We examined 150 consecutive patients. In 144 patients the presence of thyroid, salivary gland, or lymph node disease was suspected. In three patients a cervical mass was palpable, and three patients had symptoms of dysfunction of the inferior laryngeal or vagal nerves. The pathologic diagnoses of the masses were obtained at biopsy.RESULTS. In 144 individuals the normal vagus nerve was recognized on each side of the neck as a thin band that occupied the posterior angle formed by the common carotid artery and the internal jugular vein. Three patients had tumors arising from the vagus nerve: one neurofibroma, one neurinoma, and one chemodectoma. These tumors were located in the neurovascular bundle and posterior to the vessels; their origin from the vagus nerve was cl...

TL;DR: The Task Force Committee of the Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology has developed recommendations for the optimal use of radiofrequency ablation for thyroid nodules based on a comprehensive analysis of the current literature, the results of multicenter studies, and expert consensus as mentioned in this paper.
Ultrasound of nerve and muscle
TL;DR: A review of the technical aspects of ultrasound and its physical principles can be found in this article, which relates normal muscle anatomy and movement to ultrasound images in the axial and sagittal planes and follows with a discussion of ultrasound findings in chronic muscle disease.

Sonography of abnormal lymph nodes in vitro: correlation of sonographic and histologic findings.
TL;DR: In vitro sonograms of 53 enlarged lymph nodes excised from 41 patients during surgery for neoplastic or nonneoplastic disease suggest that the sonographic finding of a central echogenic line is a valid criterion of benignity.

Differentiation Between Schwannoma of the Vagus Nerve and Schwannoma of the Cervical Sympathetic Chain by Imaging Diagnosis
TL;DR: Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed to differentiate preoperatively between schwannomas of the vagus nerve and schwanna of the cervical sympathetic chain by observing the position of schWannomas in regard to the surrounding blood vessels.

Vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy: a review
TL;DR: No indication other than refractory partial seizures in adults has been the subject of controlled trials, but post-marketing experience and uncontrolled reports indicate comparable efficacy and safety in a wide range of epilepsies, partial and generalized, idiopathic, cryptogenic, or symptomatic, in patients of all ages.

High-resolution sonography of the recurrent laryngeal nerve: anatomic and pathologic considerations.
TL;DR: Postmortem studies in three cadavers demonstrated that this structure is actually the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), and findings observed during sonographic examinations of the neck in nine patients with RLN paralysis of unknown origin were reviewed.
