Reappraisal of the morphological and morphometric study of the psoas minor muscle with clinical and developmental insights: cadaveric study
CONCLUSIONS: Findings confirm the inconsistency of PMi in the study population. Morphological variations became more evident as the tendon approached the insertion level. The muscle's distal attachment to the iliac fascia may partially control the position, mechanical stability of the underlying iliopsoas and this circumstantial function may be clinically related to iliopsoas inflammation and pathology. However, further studies recommended to determine biomechanical validity and clinical applicability of this vestigial muscle in human.PMID:38619066 | DOI:10.5603/fm.99128 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

Use and meaning of the anatomical terms plexus choroideus and tela choroidea in veterinary and human medicine
Folia Morphol (Warsz). 2024 Apr 3. doi: 10.5603/fm.98803. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe anatomical terms plexus chor(i)oideus (CP) and tela chor(i)oidea (TC) are listed without explanations in the official nomenclature handbooks Terminologia Neuroanatomica and Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria. Definitions of CP and TC exhibit discrepancies in medical dictionaries and anatomy handbooks. The aim of our study was to analyse this problem in detail and to discuss a possible unified use of the terms in science and teaching. We conducted a systematic literature review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews ...

Possible anastomoses between the long branches of the brachial plexus and their clinical significance
Folia Morphol (Warsz). 2024 Apr 3. doi: 10.5603/fm.93685. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe brachial plexus consists of nerves that supply the upper limb and some nerves of the back, torso, and neck. It is formed by the ventral rami of C5 to T1 (in some cases, C4 or T2 also contribute). The anterior rami of the spinal nerves unite to the roots, trunks, divisions, cords, and terminal branches that innervate muscles and skin. An example is associated with terminal branches of the long nerves. Knowledge of this variation is necessary for enabling surgeons, orthopedists, and neurologists to avoid injury during surgical explora...

The morphological variability of the pelvic girdle muscles: a potential trap during ultrasound
CONCLUSIONS: The morphological variability of the pelvic girdle muscles does not vary from such incidence in other regions of the human body; however further ultrasound studies are needed of the numerous morphological variants that can be found in this region.PMID:38567935 | DOI:10.5603/fm.94434 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

The morphological variability of the piriformis muscle
CONCLUSIONS: The piriformis muscle is highly morphologically variable in both its proximal and distal attachments and its relationship with the sciatic nerve. There are four types of proximal attachment and three types of distal attachment. The piriformis muscle shows numerous fusions with its adjacent muscles: gluteus medius or minimus or superior gemellus. A new (fourth) type of relationship was demonstrated between the piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve. The piriformis muscle was absent in four cases.PMID:38567936 | DOI:10.5603/fm.97774 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

Morphological study of superficial palmar arch and the significance in clinical operation
CONCLUSIONS: This study investigated the relationship between the classification, physiological index, and clinical significance of the superficial palmar arch at all levels. The results demonstrated that when the superficial palmar arch is damaged, it is important to consider both the classification and the site of damage, as this can potentially result in improved therapeutic outcomes. These findings provide a basis for future clinical research.PMID:38567937 | DOI:10.5603/fm.98591 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

A three-headed psoas major muscle: a case report
CONCLUSIONS: It is important to be aware of morphological variability of muscles, especially those considered to be constant, since an anomalous structure might interfere not only with their functions, but also lead to further clinical consequences.PMID:38567938 | DOI:10.5603/fm.98028 (Source: Folia Morphologica)

The double-headed accessory iliacus muscle: a case report
CONCLUSIONS: It is important to be aware of morphological variability around structures such as double-headed accessory iliacus muscle presented in this study, due to their association with neurovascular bundles and hip joint. The reported atypical morphology is not widely known in the literature but might be of great clinical significance, therefore knowledge of such variability might be regarded in order to diagnose properly and introduce accurate treatment.PMID:38567939 | DOI:10.5603/fm.98029 (Source: Folia Morphologica)
