The submandibular ganglion is a small fusiform-shaped cluster of cell bodies of the parasympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic innervation of the submandibular gland is not only responsible for the secretion of saliva, but it also plays a main role in the development and regeneration of the gland. The parasympathetic root of the submandibular ganglion or the posterior branch of the lingual nerve to the submandibular ganglion is one of three roots of the submandibular ganglion. Using standard search engines (PubMed, Google), papers in English discussing the anatomy, embryology, variations, and clinical significance of the parasympathetic root of the submandibular ganglion were reviewed.

Sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation for the treatment of cerebrovascular ischemia.
Clin Auton Res
December 2024
Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa, C. Sauces, s/n, 80019, Culiacán, SIN, Mexico.
Purpose: The parasympathetic effects of the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) on the cerebral vasculature provide a compelling rationale for its therapeutic application in cerebrovascular ischemia. In recent years, attempts have been made to stimulate the SPG to achieve beneficial effects on cerebral circulation.
Methods: This review synthesizes the available publications on SPG stimulation.
Genetic landscape of Romanian PPGLs.
J Cell Mol Med
December 2024
"Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania.
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumours that originate from chromaffin cells and occur in the adrenal medulla and in the sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglia. Nearly 70% of PPGLs result from germline or somatic mutations in a single driver gene. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic background and clinical characteristics related to genetic profile of patients with PPGLs from Romania.

Article Synopsis
- * Fourteen patients who struggled with traditional oral medications received fluoroscopy-guided injections, resulting in significant reductions in both pain scores and frequency of pain attacks after 60 days.
- * Complications included temporary side effects like hemifacial palsy and diplopia, which resolved within three months, suggesting the treatment is relatively safe.

Organ-specific sympathetic innervation defines visceral functions.
Nature
January 2025
Division of Biology and Biological Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA.
The autonomic nervous system orchestrates the functions of the brain and body through the sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways. However, our understanding of the autonomic system, especially the sympathetic system, at the cellular and molecular levels is severely limited. Here we show topological representations of individual visceral organs in the major abdominal sympathetic ganglion complex.
