摘要
在超声波(US)引导下向环咽肌(CPM)注射肉毒杆菌神经毒素(BNT)是一种微创技术,可通过减轻环咽肌痉挛来缓解环咽吞咽困难。这种技术基本上只能到达环咽肌的两侧。这项尸体研究旨在评估 US 引导注射是否能有效地将 BNT 输送到 CPM 内毛细神经末梢丰富的区域。我们采用了一种新改良的西勒染色法来识别 CPM 内神经末梢丰富的区域,同时保留了 5 具新鲜尸体 10 侧肌肉的三维形态。在 US 引导下,将 0.2 mL 混合染料注入 8 具尸体的 16 侧 CPM。在 CPM 的后外侧区域有大量神经末梢;注射的染料在 12 侧(12/16 侧,75%)的后外侧区域被识别,没有扩散到环状腱膜后肌。四侧注射失败(椎前筋膜两侧和 CPM 下方食管两侧)。这些结果表明 US 引导注射是一种可行的技术,因为它能在大多数情况下将 BNT 注射到 CPM 内最丰富的神经分布区。
Ultrasound-Guided Botulinum Neurotoxin Injection for Alleviating Cricopharyngeus Muscle Spasticity: A Cadaveric Feasibility Study with Nerve Ending Analysis
Botulinum neurotoxin (BNT) injection into the cricopharyngeus muscle (CPM) under ultrasound (US) guidance is a minimally invasive technique performed to relieve cricopharyngeal dysphagia by reducing CPM spasticity. This technique is basically accessible only to both lateral sides of the CPM. This cadaveric study aimed to evaluate whether US-guided injection could effectively deliver BNT to abundant areas of gross nerve endings within the CPM. We utilized a newly modified Sihler’s staining method to identify regions with abundant neural endings within the CPM while preserving the three-dimensional morphology of the muscle in 10 sides of 5 fresh cadavers. A mixture of 0.2 mL dye was injected into the 16 sides of CPM under US guidance in 8 cadavers. Nerve endings were abundant in posterolateral areas of the CPM; the injected dye was identified at the posterolateral area on 12 sides (12/16 side, 75%) without diffusion into the posterior cricoarytenoid muscle. The injection failed on four sides (two sides of the prevertebral fascia and two sides of the esophagus below the CPM). These results suggest that US-guided injection could be a feasible technique as it can deliver BNT to the most abundant nerve distribution areas within the CPM in most cases.
