Lesser Splanchnic Nerve
Abstract
The nerve may be absent (7% on the right side, 2% on the left, and 2% bilaterally). It is usually formed from the tenth and eleventh thoracic ganglia. The nerve arises symmetrically in 35% of bodies. "Normal" (usual) nerves (T10-T11) occurred in 14% of subjects; only 1% of these were symmetric bilaterally. The greater and lesser nerves may be carried in the same trunk.
