Abstract
Nerves of the neck region are presented basing on our unique and simple landmark technique: define the points of optimal visibility (POV) of the nerves of the neck by external (ELM) and internal landmarks (ILM), define the nerves by high-resolution sonography and follow them to whatever nerve segment you want to assess or where it should be blocked.
