Abstract：
The auriculotemporal nerve is one branch of the mandibular portion of the trigeminal nerve, which itself divides into several branches in the temporal and retromandibular regions. The lesser occipital nerve is a cutaneous branch of the cervical plexus and is sometimes implicated in cases of cervicogenic headaches, occipitoparietal headaches, and occipital neuralgia, in general. Here, we present a case of unilateral neural interconnection between the auriculotemporal and lesser occipital nerves thus illustrating the joining of the cervical plexus and trigeminal nerve. A better understanding of the aforementioned nervous anatomy may be valuable for facial reconstructive and nerve transfer procedures, as well as for a variety of other head and neck disorders, e.g., occipital neuralgia.
摘要：
耳颞部神经是三叉神经下颌部分的一个分支，它本身在颞下颌和下颌后区域分为几个分支。枕小神经是颈丛的皮肤分支，有时与颈源性头痛有关。枕顶头痛,和枕骨神经痛,总的来说。这里,我们介绍了耳颞部和枕部小神经之间单侧神经互连的情况，从而说明了颈丛和三叉神经的连接。对上述神经解剖结构的更好理解对于面部重建和神经转移程序可能是有价值的。以及各种其他头颈部疾病，例如，枕骨神经痛.
