High-resolution ultrasound (US) enables prompt depiction of muscles, tendons,
ligaments, and peripheral nerves. It seems to be the best imaging modality for
guiding perineural injections. The most complicated neurovascular network of the
musculoskeletal system surrounds the cervical spine; so injection to that region
is never an easy task. This article elaborates the regional anatomy and the use
of US scanning and guidance for cervical interventions; for example, cervical
root, superficial cervical plexus, stellate ganglion, cervical medial branch,
greater occipital nerve, and third occipital nerve. The article aims to lead
readers to practice US-guided cervical injections precisely and safely.
