First Bite Syndrome

AbstractInflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) in the head and neck region are common, but those with sympathetic trunk involvement are extremely rare. Here we present a case of cervical sympathetic trunk-centered IMT which is also accompanied by ipsilateral carotid artery, internal jugular vein, and vagus nerve involvement. The patient initially complained of an episodic painful swelling on the right side of the neck and underwent surgery. Preoperative and postoperative serum IgG4 level during 3-year follow-up time is within normal limits. Immunohistochemical study of the tumor has also revealed negativity to IgG4. Postoperative first bite syndrome (FBS) was observed. Surgery seems to be first-line therapy in the patient with IgG4-negative IMT.

In 51 rats the distribution of the aortic depressor fibers which travel in the cervical region with the vagus, sympathetic, laryngeal, or as a separate aortic nerve was investigated by recording the action potential or by stimulating these nerves. A separate aortic depressor nerve was found in only 20% of the rats on the left side and in 5% on the right side. In these animals no depressor fibers were identified in the sympathetic trunk but the laryngeal nerves usually still exhibited depressor fiber activity. In those rats with no separate aortic depressor nerve the aortic fibers were present almost equally in the sympathetic trunk and laryngeal nerves, and on both sides of the neck. Only exceptionally was depressor activity found in the vagus trunk, and stimulation elicited depressor instead of pressor effects in 2 out of 12 rats. Optimal stimuli for obtaining hypotensive effects from the aortic depressor fibers were 80–150 per frequency and 1–2-msec duration.
