This variant may predispose the phrenic nerve to injury during subclavian vascular cannulation. In addition, an accessory phrenic nerve is commonly identified, present in up to 75% of a cadaveric study. [3] In canines, the phrenic nerve arises from C5-C7 with occasional small contributions from C4. [4]
The pericardiacophrenic arteries travel through the thoracic cavity.They course through the fibrous pericardium. [2] The pericardiacophrenic artery accompanies the phrenic nerve between the pleura and pericardium, to the diaphragm. [3]
Pericardiacophrenic vessels accompany the phrenic nerve in the middle mediastinum of the thorax. The vein drains into the internal thoracic vein, ...
The phrenic nerve is oriented vertically as it passes in front of the anterior scalene, while the subclavian vein is oriented horizontally as it passes in front of the anterior scalene muscle. [ 4 ] The passing of the brachial plexus and the subclavian artery through the space of the anterior and middle scalene muscles constitute the scalene ...

The root of the right lung lies behind the superior vena cava and part of the right atrium, and below the azygos vein.That of the left lung passes beneath the aortic arch and in front of the descending aorta; the phrenic nerve, pericardiacophrenic artery and vein, and the anterior pulmonary plexus, lie in front of each, and the vagus nerve and posterior pulmonary plexus lie behind.
A dad, 45, had what seemed like a pinched nerve. It was a sign of a cancerous thymoma. Chest pain, shortness of breath were signs of his thymoma.
Branches of the cervical plexus, which include the phrenic nerve, innervate muscles of the neck, the diaphragm, and the skin of the neck and upper chest. The brachial plexus contains ventral rami from spinal nerves C5–T1. This plexus innervates the pectoral girdle and upper limb. The lumbar plexus contains ventral rami from spinal nerves L1–L4.
