summary

In the neck, the sympathetic nervous system has two main parts, the sympathetic chain and the vertebral nerve. All cervical sympathetic ganglia are gray unmyelinated postganglionic nerves. They originate from sympathetic ganglia, degenerative changes of cervical spine and other diseases can cause sympathetic dysfunction. How is cervical sympathetic chain affected caused? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

How is cervical sympathetic chain affected caused?

Many etiologies can cause sympathetic chain syndrome, such as acute and chronic infection, systemic or local infection, various endogenous and exogenous poisoning, trauma, spinal degenerative disease, tumor, vascular disease and chronic irritant lesions.

The etiology is different, sympathetic ganglion damage, leading to the corresponding clinical manifestations. The pathological changes varied with the primary diseases. Inflammatory inflammation resulted in the formation of vacuoles and steatosis in the cells, accompanied by hyperemia, edema and infiltration in the interstitium and surrounding tissues, and necrosis of ganglion cells caused by poisoning and sepsis.

Sympathetic compensatory hyperactivity: sympathetic hyperactivity is caused by the increase of sympathetic excitability caused by various reasons, which leads to a series of comprehensive symptoms of effector organs. The main manifestations were rapid heartbeat and breathing, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, peripheral vascular diastolic and systolic dysfunction, hyperhidrosis, pupil dilation, eye fissure widening, exophthalmos, vertigo, burning neuralgia, etc.

matters needing attention

The neck muscle strength of middle-aged and elderly people is relatively thin, and they often have slow neck muscle strain, which can lead to imbalance of neck muscle strength, which is not conducive to maintaining the stability of cervical spine. Therefore, the elderly should strengthen the neck muscle training. Hold the back of the head and neck with both hands, give some resistance, and make the head lean back for 6 seconds; Repeat 3-5 times.
