[Connecting branches of the proper and accessory ciliary ganglion in the wild boar].
In 34 heads of wild boars examined the presence of the proper and accessory ciliary ganglions was found. The accessory ciliary ganglion is located at a constant distance of 20 mm from the proper ciliary ganglion along the short side ciliary nerves. The connecting branch of the ciliary ganglion to the nasociliary nerve was found in 50% of the preparations. The connecting branch from the internal carotid nerve to the ciliary ganglion was found in three preparations. Moreover, the sympathetic branch was found to run together with the connecting branch to the ciliary ganglions from the nasociliary nerve. In all cases, a strong connecting branch from the zygomatic nerve to the proper ciliary ganglion was also observed.
