Least (Lowest) Splanchnic Nerve

Version 1

Abstract

This nerve may be absent (11% on the right side and 4% on the left side). The splanchnicus imus usually arises from the twelfth thoracic ganglion. It may be absent bilaterally in 2% of bodies. When absent, the lesser splanchnic supplies the renal plexus. The nerve arises symmetrically in 79% of bodies. "Normal" nerves were found in 92% of bodies and were symmetric in 77%.
