Reformatted computed tomographic evaluation of the thoracic pedicle in a Chinese population for the surgical application of transpedicular screw placement
Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
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

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.
Results It was observed that the bony ...

Conclusion The investigation revealed anatomical variations including supernumerary heads (20%) and ‘fusion’ of the muscle proximal to

Conclusion We observed densification of the trabecular network in the centre of the VEP overlying the nucleus pulposus, partly related

it possible to validate future models.

Bilateral symmetric junctional infarctions of the cerebellum: a case reportEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
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...

Conclusion The vascular anatomy of peroneal artery perforators is highly variable, and thus there is a role for preoperative imaging.
CTA can demonstrate cases where there is aberrant or non-preferred anatomy, or select the limb of choice for harvest.

Discuss or comment on this article.
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.

Discuss or comment on this article.
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...
