Conclusions  The results of this study suggest that transpedicular screw fixation may not be suitable for the mid-thoracic regions in most Chinese females and that modified pedicle screw techniques or modified type of fixation is required in these patients. CT evaluation is a must before this procedure is performed.

This study was designed to provide anatomic data to help surgeons avoid damage to the ocular motor nerves during intraorbital operations. The microsurgical anatomy of the ocular motor nerves was studied in 50 adult cadaveric heads (100 orbits). Dissections were performed with a microscope. The nerves were exposed and the neural and muscular relationships of each portion of the nerve were examined and measured. The superior division of the oculomotor nerve coursed between the optic nerve and the superior rectus muscle after it left the annular tendon, and its branches entered into the superior rectus muscle and levator ...

Abstract Purpose   Parasellar interclinoid bars are significant in surgical management while dealing with the vascular, neoplastic or traumatic lesions of the central skull base and can also compress the surrounding structures giving rise to various clinical symptoms. The literature cites several case reports but systematic study of these bars has not been done. Therefore this study was carried out to see the incidence of osseous interclinoid bars in Indian population. Method  Two hundred and fifty adult dried human skulls were studied.

Abstract  Congenital anomalies of the muscles of the lower extremity are rare. A case of complete absence of the semimembranosus muscle incidentally found with magnetic resonance imaging is reported. The patient was a 55-year-old female presenting with knee pain and no previous history of trauma. Clinical and imaging findings were consistent with meniscal tears. Two cases of uncommon distal insertion of the semimembranosus tendon are also described to illustrate the anatomical variations in this area. The anatomical and biomechanical relations between the semimembranosus muscle and the posteromedial corner of...

Abstract  Postoperative long-term treatment problems of male-to-female transsexuals can be caused by the underestimated mobility of the cricothyroid joint. One hundred cadaveric larynges were analysed to reveal the morphological and functional anatomy of the CTJ focusing on possible horizontal and vertical gliding movements. Furthermore, the distance of the cricothyroid space for rotational movements was measured. The articular surface of the cricothyroid joint showed three different possibilities: a well-defined facet (Type 1 61%), no definable facet (Type 2 22%) or a flat surface with or without a tiny prot...

For the biceps, these points were most densely distributed at a length from 64.6 to 70.3% point of the reference line with the coracoid process as starting point, at a width of 21.6–32.6 mm lateral to the reference line.

Abstract  The presence of a unusual appearance of the stylohyoid and digastric muscles may lead to a confusion in some pathological cases, during the radiological examination and aesthetic facial surgery. These differences may cause pharyngeal pain and foreign body sensation in the throat. During the dissection, unusual insertions, origin, insertion, shape and bilaterality were investigated in 28 cadavers’ heads. In a total of 56, the presence of unusual insertions which belong to the stylohyoid muscle were observed in 22 sides (39.3%), and atypical fibers which belong to the digastric muscle were observed ...

We presented computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a rare case of bilateral symmetrical junctional infarcts between the superior cerebellar artery (SCA) and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) territories. In addition to precise knowledge of arterial territories required to achieve accurate localization of ischemic lesions on CT and MRI, the radiologist must also be aware of radiologic features and geographic territories of cerebellar arteries and their junctional infarctions.

Abstract  Colon interposition is the method of choice to restore the digestive tract after esogastrectomy. The aim of this study was to compare the length of the four available routes for colon transposition (posterior mediastinum route, transpleural route, substernal route and subcutaneous route) and to achieve a specific evaluation of the transpleural route. Our study was conducted with anatomical (dissection) and radiological (2D CT scan reconstructions) protocols. For both, the posterior mediastinum route was always the shortest way and the subcutaneous route was always the longest. For the anatomical res...

Conclusions  We developed a protocol to create UCS anatomical model simulations including three-dimensional discrete kinematics, using previously validated methods. In this study, simultaneous segmental movement simulation and display of HA variations was shown to be feasible. Although partially confirming previous results, helical axis computation showed variations of motion patterns dependent on movement, level and specimen. Further in vivo investigations are needed to confirm relevance of this method in the clinical field. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original ArticleDOI 10.1007/s00276-009-0...

We present appearances on magnetic resonance angiography, which have not been previously described. Careful interrogation of the data in volume-rendered and multiplanar reformats was required to make the diagnosis. The relationship between fenestrations and aneurysms in the anterior circulation is discussed both in general terms and with specific regard to the supraclinoid ICA. We also review the embryology of the distal ICA, which may help explain the adult anatomy of this rare lesion as a failure of caudal separation of the rostral and caudal divisions of the primitive distal ICA.

Abstract  The variations in the emergence and distribution of the ilioinguinal nerve are the cause of the failures of the ilioinguinal block and the difficulties at interpreting the ilioinguinal nerve syndrome. In order to identify its variations and set reliable anatomical landmarks for performing the ilioinguinal block, we dissected 100 inguinal regions of 51 adult corpses. The nerve was absent in seven cases and double in one case. The ilioinguinal nerve emerged from the internal oblique muscle, passing at 1 ± 0.8 cm of the inguinal ligament and 3.33 ± 2 cm of the ventral cr...

Conclusions  In our morphometric study of the spinal vertebrae, we found differences compared to a number of previous morphometric studies performed mainly on a white population. Also, we documented the individual morphometric differences of the same parameters in the same subgroups. These results emphasize the importance of preoperative computed tomography and conventional radiography of each patient in planning a surgical procedure and selecting the appropriate size of the instruments, thus avoiding possible postoperative complication related to implants.

Abstract  Thirty-six cadavers (55 sides) were used to observe the innervation of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and its circumference structures with gross anatomical and histological methods to clarify the cause of indistinct pain in the lateral part of the knee joint. The innervating branches of the LCL could be divided into three types: (1) from the muscular branch of the biceps femoris muscle at lower 1/3 level of the thigh; (2) from the common fibular nerve (CFN) at the higher level of the fossa poplitea; (3) from the CFN at the level of the caput fibular. Furthermore, the three branches could sin...

Abstract  A 48-year-old man suffered from spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. Emergent right internal carotid angiography showed the presence of a persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) variant with a fusiform aneurysm on its proximal segment where it branched from the internal carotid artery. This artery supplied the territory of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery. After consideration of the adequacy of the cerebellar circulation without this anomalous artery, intraluminal occlusion of the aneurysm together with the PTA variant was performed using detachable coils. The patient recovered uneventfully withou...
