Posterior triangle of the neck which divides the space into two triangles: A) Nerves and plexuses: B) Vessels: C) Lymph nodes: D) Muscles: The accessory nerve (CN XI) is particularly vulnerable to damage during lymph node biopsy. Damage results in an inability to shrug the shoulders or raise the arm above the head, particularly due to compromised trapezius muscle innervation. The Internal jugular vein's superficial location within the posterior triangle also makes it vulnerable to injury. Posterior triangle of the neck The posterior triangle (or lateral cervical region) is a region of the neck. It has the following boundaries: Apex: Union of the sternocleidomastoid and
Varicose veins foams. Foams may allow more veins to be treated per session with comparable efficacy. Their use in contrast to liquid sclerosant is still somewhat controversial. Sclerotherapy has been used in the treatment of varicose veins for over 150 years. Sclerotherapy is often used for telangiectasias (spider veins) and varicose veins that persist or recur after vein stripping. Sclerotherapy can also be performed using foamed sclerosants under ultrasound guidance to treat larger varicose veins, including the great saphenous and small saphenous veins. A 1996 study reported a 76% success rate at 24 months in treating saphenofemoral junction and great saphenous vein
