For the scapula, no such model is available. We elaborated a first parametric model of scapula based on a large database of 43 scapulae. Our morphometric measurements are very close to others founded in literature. Correlations obtained should help to progress toward relevant subject-specific models of the scapula based on reduced information.

A patient with aneurysm that arises from the bifurcation of the distal anterior cerebral arteries is presented. The contralateral anterior cerebral artery is also presented, and there is no communication between the left and the right anterior cerebral artery. The findings from multiple slice CT angiography in this case are illustrated and discussed. The recognition of this variant is important for the therapy planning.

It often appears to be a part of extensor digitorum longus, and might be described as its “fifth tendon”. Although its insertion variation has been reported by many authors, variations of its origin points are not common. A variation of the peroneus tertius muscle was found during routine dissection of a 75-year-old male cadaver. The muscle originated from the extensor hallucis longus. The muscle belly of the extensor hallucis longus arose from the middle two-fourths of the medial surface of the fibula, medial to the extensor digitorum longus, and anterior surface of the interosseous membrane. It lay under the extensor digitorum longus, and lateral to the tibialis anterior muscle. The muscle be...

All patients underwent CTA and MRA examination of the head and neck. Multiplanar and volumetric reformations were obtained in all cases. For each set of images, the presence of aberrant origin of the branches of the external carotid artery was investigated. MRA and CTA images of each patient were compared to define their information content. Anatomical anomalies were found in 88 heminecks, with a prevalence of 53.3%.

We discuss a theory of development of renal vascular variants. We retrospectively reviewed 120 arterial phase contrast material-enhanced spiral computerized tomography scans of the abdomen (1- to 2-mm section thickness) performed during a two-month period. Forty percent of the study group (48 patients) had one artery and one vein on each side, with typical course. There was a 9.17% prevalence of precaval right renal artery: 10 patients had a lower pole accessory artery in precaval position and one patient had the main and the accessory arteries that pass anterior to the inferior vena cava. In these cases, associated ...

The amount of medial angulation and the ideal screw length in the Asian population must be borne in mind during insertion. Right S1 screws carry higher risk of injury to the internal iliac artery when the anterior cortical penetration occurs due to the course of the iliac vessels.

During anatomical dissections that were carried out in the Department of Anatomy of Suleyman Demirel University School of Medicine to demonstrate the superficial palmar arch, a variation in the course of the SPBRA was noted in the right hand of an adult cadaver. This variant branch ran superficial to, and in contact with, the flexor retinaculum, and ran transversely to join the ulnar artery.

It approaches a reading exercise of scientific medical papers similar to that of journal club. It could be compared to reviewing a paper as performed by reviewers of a scientific journal. We studied the relevancy of that teaching method for the youngest medical students. Our questions were about the understanding and the analyzing ability of a scientific paper while students have just learned basic medical sciences as anatomy. We have included 54 “article critique” written by voluntary students in second and third years of medical cursus. All of the IMRaD structure items (introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion) were analyzed ...

In addition to this abnormal bone attachment to the corpus, lesser cornua were absent bilaterally. Abnormal bone attachment was approximately 3.79-cm long and 0.38–0.50-cm wide and heads toward the upper left of the hyoid bone. We believe that clinicians should be aware of such abnormalities of the hyoid bone because of the functional and clinical importance of its variations and abnormal relations within nearby structures. These abnormalities have a great importance for the surgical operations and radiological studies of the neck region and for the forensic medicine because of the susceptibility of the hyoid bone to the fractures in relation to th...

Hiatal hernias are characterized by a protrusion of the stomach into the thoracic cavity through a widening of the right crus of the diaphragm. There are four types of esophageal hiatal hernias: sliding (type I), paraesophageal (type II), and combined (type III), which include elements of types I and II, and giant paraesophageal (type IV). Each type may present with different symptoms and complications. The potential severity of symptoms necessitates proper and prompt diagnosis. Diagnosis is established with the use of barium swallow on chest radiographs. Treatment for sliding hernias involves laparoscopic fundoplication. The aim of our paper is to review the extensiv...

CT scans at skull base level with bone settings showed absence of the right carotid canal, consistent with congenital agenesis of the internal carotid artery. MR imaging of the brain revealed signal void of the intracranial portion of right internal carotid artery. Maximum intensity projection reconstruction confirmed the agenesis of the right ICA, with the right middle cerebral artery fed through a dilated posterior communicating artery and the right anterior cerebral artery supplied by the anterior communicating artery (fetal type of collateral flow).

Peripheral neurectomy of the mental nerve is one of the treatments of choice in cases of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) affecting the mental nerve. Failure to remove the mental nerve with all its branches completely is the main reason behind its regrowth leading to recurrence of the disease. Presence of AMN may be missed out during routine surgery leading to persistence of the neuralgic pain associated with the AMN. The purpose of this article is to present a case where an AMN was found accidently after excision of the mental nerve in a case of TGN. The AMN was dissected to its complete length and excised. The patient was followed up on monthly basis and there was no recurrence...

Historically, there are a number of examples of such anomalies, including royal families of ancient Chaldea, tribes from Arabia, and examples from across nineteenth century Europe. The development of the upper limbs in a growing embryo is still being elucidated with the recent advent of homeobox genes, but researchers agree that upper limbs develop between stages 12–23 through a complex embryological process. Maternal thalidomide intake during limb development is known to cause limb reduction and subsequent amelia or phocomelia. Additionally, a number of clinical reports have illustrated different limb anomaly cases, with each situation un...

The posterior arteries of the superior renal segment originate mostly from the posterior terminal branch of the renal artery as 1–3 arterial branches. In only 42 cases, we found posterior branches that do not participate in the supply of the superior renal pole. In 190 cases, the anterior arteries of the superior segment originated from the anterior division of the renal artery and in 73 cases directly from the trunk of t...

Herein, we report a 52-year-old white female with angiographically occult subarachnoid hemorrhage. Left superior and anterior inferior cerebellar arteries were not detected. An aberrant cerebellar artery was noted to arise from the left cavernous internal carotid artery and terminated in the distribution of the ipsilateral superior and anterior inferior cerebellar arteries. This variant artery might likely have resulted from an abnormal regression of fetal anterior-to-posterior circulation connections, and may represent a fetal-type cerebellar artery. A review of the anatomy and clinical significance of the variant is presented. Content Type Jo...

In years 2006–2010, 2,034 examinations of the upper digestive tract were performed. Normal stomach anatomy or different variations of the organ shape and/or topography without any organic radiologically detectable gastric lesions were revealed in 568 and 821 cases, respectively.

Puncture angle and geometry can be severely affected by patient obesity. The combination of fluoroscopy to identify entry point, ultrasound-guidance to identify the femoral bifurcation and soft tissue compression to improve puncture geometry are critical for safe femoral arterial access.

The small number of cadaveric specimens used in anatomical studies probably explains theses differences. The minimally invasive transpsoas lateral approach was initially developed to reduce the complications associated with the traditional procedure. The anatomical relationships between the lumbar plexus and the intervertebral disc make this technique particularly risky a L4L5. Alternative techniques, such as transforaminal interbody fusion (TLIF), posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) or anterior interbody fusion (ALIF) should be used at this level.

Samples of deep fascia together with the underlying muscles were taken from neck, abdomen and thigh from three fresh non-embalmed cadavers. Samples were stained with hematoxylin–eosin, Azan-Mallory, Alcian blue and a biotinylated HA-binding protein specific for HA. An ultrasound study was also performed on 22 voluntary subjects to analyze the thickness of these deep fasciae and their sublayers. The deep fascia presented a layer of HA between fascia and the muscle and within the loose connective tissue that divided different fibrous sublayers of the deep fascia.

Substantial mechanical interaction occurs between calf muscles, which is mediated by myofascial force transmission between these synergistic muscles. This confirms conclusions of previous in situ studies in experimental animals and human patients, for in vivo conditions in healthy human subjects.

The vessel originated from the aortic arch distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery and presented an unusual retroesophageal course, thus was named “vertebral arteria lusoria”. As multi-detector row computed tomography examination is now widely used, this anatomical variant should be considered in any patient undergoing esophageal surgery.

The diagnosis was suspected by prenatal ultrasound and fetal magnetic resonance imaging. It was postnatally confirmed by CT and RTG, surgically removed after birth and histologically examined. Histologically we found well-developed organs and tissues derived from all germ layers. To our knowledge, we describe the fourth case of fetus in fetu located in the thorax, and the second case located in the anterior mediastinum. This case highlights the usefulness of prenatal ultrasound and MRI in the diagnosis of mediastinal masses, and the usefulness of complete histological examination for confirmation of diagnosis of fe...

There was no evidence that the ICJ has increased submucosal vascularity or a greater density of innervation compared to the adjacent bowel. The term ileocaecal valve is misleading and should be replaced by ileocaecal junction. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original ArticlePages 1-9DOI 10.1007/s00276-011-0865-zAuthors Matthew F.

The 3D model of the female pelvis presented in this paper provides a stereoscopic view to study the adjacent relationship and arrangement of respective pelvis sections. A better understanding of the pelvic floor anatomy is relevant to gynaecologists, radiologists, surgeons, urologists, physical therapists and all professionals who take care of women with pelvic floor dysfunction.

The first one was encountered at dissection, in a human adult female cadaver where the right IAN terminal division was identified in the premolar region, above a severely atrophied mandibular body. The second case was a patient evaluated by cone-beam CT, who presented with an extremely atrophic mandible with bilateral extramandibular courses of the IANs. Such severe atrophy of the mandible may be considered as residual ridge class 7 along with the existing Atwood classes. EMCs of the IAN may not only occur in extreme mandibular atrophy, but also in dentate mandibles. In edentulous mandibles, an extramandibular IAN may complicate local surgical procedures or hamper denture wearing. Content Type Journal ArticlePages 1-3DOI 10.1007/s00276-011-0859-xAu...

Thus, CD34-positive cells have recently been used clinically in the field of vascular and orthopedic biotechnology because of their capacity to assist regeneration of injured tissues. However, to our knowledge, the in situ distribution of CD34-positive cells has not yet been described in the human fetus, with the exception of a few organs. In the present study, we conducted immunohistochemistry for CD34 using 12 human fetuses (9–15 weeks of gestation). CD34-positive structures showed a vessel-like appearance and were regularly arrayed in the viscera, nerves and lymph nodes, whereas in the body wall and extremities, they were distributed diffusely as fibrous tissues, such a...

This atypical artery enters the right suprarenal gland that was also supplied by the superior and the inferior suprarenal arteries as usual. In embryonic stages, vasculature of the vitelline system and the gonadal system is differentially organized. The superior mesenteric artery has been generally thought to be pure vitelline, since there has been no evidence that the superior mesenteric artery supplies other organs than digestive. We then speculate that the present middle suprarenal artery is a remnant of the embryonic gonadal artery from the superior mesenteric artery, whereas a stem artery to the testis disappeared. Surgeons should t...

This method allows for a 3D presentation of the intra-organic innervation, the nature of the nerve fibres, and the distribution of receptors and their neurotransmitters. This technique improves the understanding of the complex anatomic regions such as the pelvis from both surgical and educational point of view.

Classification discrepancies exist in subdivision, region drained, and parcellation criteria. Recent developments in diagnostic imaging and computers enable to acquire, create, and manipulate complete vascular networks, which also call for a new classification of cerebral veins. We propose a new classification suitable for the description of the complete cerebral veins, providing a clear separation of the superficial cortical veins from deep veins, and facilitating pres...

The inferolateral trunk, which arises from the intracavernous segment of carotid artery (also called the artery of the inferior CS), is an important landmark for finding the abducens nerve and sympathetic nerve. Variations of the abducens nerve are not rare. Keeping variations of the nerve in mind is important during skull base operations and transvenous endovascular interventions. Understanding the relationship of the abducens nerve with adjacent structures will help us in preparing for safe surgery.

Sixty-six adult (35 right and 31 left) dry femurs from Caucasians were used in this study. Computed tomography (CT) imaging was applied to obtain measurement values of the femur. Femur height (413.29 ± 28.40 mm) and width (29.86 ± 2.72 mm) were all checked one by one to determine the correlation with the parameters obtained. Both values exposed high rates of correlation with height (26 ± 2.34 mm) and width (20.85 ± 2.76 mm) of femur notch; also, measures of epicondylar, bicondylar and condylar diameters of femur were obtained.

Herein, the authors report a variant of the CRA that originated from the temporal short posterior ciliary artery. Two intraorbital anastomoses were also noted between the internal and external carotid arterial systems: one through the lacrimal artery–middle meningeal artery to the ophthalmic artery and the other through supraorbital artery–recurrent meningeal artery to the ophthalmic artery. A brief review of CRA variations and potential clinical significances of the observed variant are discussed. Content Type Journal ArticlePages 1-3DOI 10.1007/s00276-011-0841-7Authors M...

Here we report a case of the thyrolingual trunk arising from the CCA on the right side in a 73-year-old female as revealed by three-dimensional computed tomography angiography for vascular mapping of the carotid vessels before head and neck microsurgical reconstruction. The thyrolingual trunk arose from the anterior surface of the right CCA, with an origin 14.5 mm (difference between the carotid bifurcation and upper border of the origin 12.7 mm) below the carotid bifurcation. The inner diameter of origin of the thyrolingual trunk was 3.5 mm, and the angle between the th...

The knowledge concerning the intra-articular ossicle is unclear. A study was thus carried out on 100 fresh great toes to document the appearance, number, size, and location of the intra-articular ossicle found in the interphalangeal joint of the great toe. Roentgenographic studies of the joint revealed 86% of bony mass representing either the sesamoid bone or the intra-articular ossicle. Anatomical studies revealed no sesamoid bone in the flexor hallucis longus tendon. There was 88% of intra-articular ossicle on the dorsal surface of the plantar capsule of the interphalangeal jo...

Rotational variations form a rare entity that is not cited in most of the embryology textbooks. During educational cadaveric dissection of a 57-year-old female, a complex picture of bilateral anatomical variants was encountered. Bilateral malrotation of kidney, bilateral lobulated kidneys along with open hilum of kidney was observed, so that the contents of the sinus were exposed. The renal pelvis was present anterior to the renal vessels instead of posterior position. The right kidney in addition showed lower lumbar position with three supplementary arteries and two veins. The right ovarian vein arched over the laterally rotated ...

The French community of Anatomists are used to teaching didactic lectures on a blackboard with their colored chalks. The increasing complexity of the sketches affords to the students an opportunity to work out a mental representation of anatomical structures in 3D. To help students perform this labored step, we present a new interactive blackboard which constructs plausible 3D models of branching vessels from a single sketch. We exploit the sketching conventions used in anatomical drawings to infer depth and curvature. We then model the set of branching vessels as a convolution surface generated by a graph of skeleton curves. Classic situations, focused on arteries, have been a...

The arterial branches of the aortic arch are from right to left: a bicarotid trunk, a left vertebral artery, a left subclavian artery, and a right retroesophageal subclavian artery. The right vertebral artery arises from the right carotid artery. Although a right retroesophageal subclavian artery has been reported in association with different anatomic variations of the aortic arch, to our knowledge this is the first MRA description of this particular combination of variations.

The insertion was done virtually based on a three-dimensional geometric model derived from computed tomographic images. The investigation was performed at eight levels located at 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220 and 240 mm above the condylar surface. The evaluation of each level included: (1) the diameter of the intramedullary canal, (2) the percentage of area filled by the nail in the unreamed intramedullary canal, (3) the minimal reamer diameter that required enlargement of the canal to accommodate retrograde nail insertion, (4) the minimal inner cortical reaming thickness that needed to be removed, (5) the percentage of the cortical bone area that needed t...

Commonly, a strong fixation of the meniscus by the collateral ligament is described. Injury to the medial meniscus is explained by its reduced mobility due to its strong adherence to the medial collateral ligament. The analysis of 10 plastinated series of the medial femorotibial compartment prove that only few fibres of the ligament radiate into the meniscus. To define the possible contribution of these fibers to the stability of the medial meniscus, experiments on two fresh frozen knee joints were performed. The distal femur was separated by cutting the capsule. The medial collateral ligament was detached carefully from its femoral insertion. The ...

In our experience based on the harvesting of pedicled Latissimus dorsi flaps to cover cervicofacial loss of substances, we have found that in some cases, the muscular fibers of the anterior border of the muscle are directly inserted on the iliac crest. In these cases, the harvesting of the flap could be more distal. Methods  To determine whether this direct muscular insertion is frequent or not, we performed dissections on 30 fresh cadavers of the lower insertion of the Latissimus dorsi muscle, and 6 dissections of human fetuses to study the ontogeny of these insertions.

Overall, the MN appeared as fenestrated, with a thin bony plate separating the two cords of the nerve traversing the skull base. Previously undocumented, the MN duplication may interfere with various surgical exposures interfering with the foramen rotundum and may explain atypical sensory syndromes and functional impairment during skull base trauma or anesthesia.

This ligament consists of two slips that originate from the radiopalmar aspect of the scaphoid tuberosity and extend distally, forming a V shape. The ulnar fibers, which are just radial to the flexor carpi radialis sheath, inserted along the trapezial ridge. The radial fibers were found to be thinner and inserted at the radial aspect of the trapezium.

After a curved course against the medial aspect of the tympanum where it is likely to be injured in middle ear surgery, CTN reaches the lingual nerve in the infratemporal fossa. Knowledge of CTN topographic anatomy is not easily achieved by the students because of the deep location of this thin structure. The aim of this study was to assess the spatial relationships of the CTN in the infratemporal fossa. Therefore, ten nerves were dissected in five fresh cadavers. All the nerves were catheterized with a 3/0 wire. After a meticulous repositioning of surrounding structures, standard X-ray and CT scan examinations were ...

The present study histologically examined sections from 20 human embryos and fetuses at 6 weeks (12–16 mm crown-rump length (CRL); 4 specimens), 7–9 weeks (21–39 mm CRL; 8 specimens), 11–12 weeks (70–90 mm CRL; 4 specimens) and 15–16 weeks (110–130 mm CRL; 4 specimens). During 7–9 weeks (approximate CRL 28 mm), the rhombic lip (a pair of thickenings of the alar plate) protruded dorsally, bent laterally, extended ventrolaterally and fused with the medially located midbrain. During that process, the primitive choroid plexus appeared to become involved in the cerebellar hemisphere to form a centrally located eosinophilic matrix. At that stage,...

The importance of MF in dental practice is especially related to dental implants placement and other surgical procedures in the region. It is fundamental to be careful in order to avoid nerve and vessels injury during procedures. Anatomic variations of the MF can be found, such as occurrence of multiple foramina and unusual location. In very rare occasions, the absence of MF can be detected. The observation of this variation is not always possible using only conventional radiographs. The modern imaging resource cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) allows an accurate three-dimensional assessment of MF, as well as the identification of ...

This simple and reproducible method allows the identification of the insertion site for the nail with only the minimal use of imaging.

Both vAs left the VAs in the foramen magnum. The left vA initially looped in front of the spinal root of the accessory nerve (Sp11) and then looped inferiorly on the dorsal side of the spinal cord, in the vertebral canal and continued ascending on the dorsal surface of the medulla oblongata. The right vA looped dorsally to the Sp11 above the foramen magnum, and also ascended dorsally to the medulla. Both vAs were distributed to the vermis. On both sides, the PICAs looped above the glossopharyngeal...

On 3D images, an articular connection was seen between the talus and the cuboid bone, as well as variations in the curvature of the posterior talocalcaneal joint. These anatomical variations may have implications for mobility and stability of the ankle. Content Type Journal ArticlePages 1-8DOI 10.1007/s00276-011-0788-8Authors M.

The characteristic findings in the cadaver included the presence of five right renal arteries and three left renal arteries arising from the abdominal aorta, and the right testicular artery originated from the right middle hilar artery and the left testicular artery originated from the left inferior hilar artery. This variation may represent an immature form of complicated development of the kidneys and testes.

Patients with damage were subdivided into two groups: group A comprised cases with ankle retinacula damage only, and group B those also with anterior talofibular ligament rupture or bone marrow edema. Both groups were examined by VAS, CRTA and static posturography and underwent three treatments of deep connective tissue massage (Fascial Manipulation technique). All evaluations were repeated after the end of treatment and at 1, 3 and 6 months. At MRI, alterati...

Although the Serres’ canal had been termed “canal of the deciduous dentition”, there appears to be no topographical relation with deciduous germs.
