Rare anatomical variations in paranasal sinuses
Publication date: Available online 26 November 2017 Source:Journal of the Anatomical Society of India Author(s): Serdar Arslan Paranasal sinuses are known to demonstrate large anatomical variations. The hypoplasia or aplasia of paranasal sinuses is a rare clinical condition referring mainly to the frontal and maxillary sinuses. The combined aplasia of sphenoid, frontal and maxillary sinuses with the hypoplasia of ethmoid sinuses are overly among rarely encountered entities. Here, we present a 38-year-old woman without any syndromes or skeletal disease, combining the aplasia of sphenoid, maxillary and frontal sinuses wit...

Patterns of Patellofemoral Articular Cartilage Wear in Japanese Cadavers
We examined 46 patellae and matching femurs from 23 Japanese cadavers. The wear location was transcribed to gridded templates, that were compared for frequency, gender, and sidedness of wear. Results Over 60% of the patella showed wear in the odd facet, the middle part of the medial facet, and the medial aspect of the middle part of the lateral facet. The distal femur showed common areas of wear in the posterior aspect of the medial femoral condyle and anterior aspect of the medial femoral condyle. Patella wear may differ with gender as male’s wear was more compact. Although the patella and femur wear area was similar b...

Determination of the anatomic factors that affect the pain values in ldh diagnosed patients
In this study to find the cause of the pain, the anatomical alterations of patients without spinal stenosis were examined through MRI retrospectively. Methods Seventy people with lumbar pain and seventy people who were diagnosed with L4-L5 lumbar disc hernia without spinal stenosis were selected respectively as the control group and the patient group. The maximum anterior-posterior hernia length and hernia width and spinal canal’s sagittal-transverse diameters were measured on the T2-weighted axial and sagittal magnetic resonance images. Results The measured visual analog scale (VAS) values were compared between gender...

A case report of the abnormal branching pattern of the facial nerve and its relationship to the posterior auricular artery
Publication date: Available online 16 October 2017 Source:Journal of the Anatomical Society of India Author(s): Özlem Elvan, İsmail Yağmurhan Gilan, Alev Bobuş Kara, Mesut Sabri Tezer Variation of the facial nerve accompanying with vascular variation was encountered on the left side of a male cadaver during the routine dissection. Facial nerve gave off five main branches instead of typically bifurcated pattern. On the other hand its trunk was pierced by the posterior auricular artery. In the present case, a unique branching pattern of the facial nerve and its variative relationship with posterior auricular artery...

Jugulo-facial venous circle, accessory slip of trapezius and absence of typical facial vein —Clinically important anatomical variations
We report a unique combination of venous and muscular variation in the left side of the neck of an adult male cadaver. The typical facial vein was absent. Facial vein was represented as a vena comitans of facial artery. The common facial vein joined with the external jugular vein to form a jugulo-facial venous circle above the lateral part of the clavicle. This circle was closely related to an accessory muscle slip from the trapezius. Further, the common facial vein was connected to the anterior jugular vein through a large anonymous vein. We discuss the clinical implications of these variations. (Source: Journal of the An...

Incomplete rotation and zygosis of gut: A case report
Publication date: Available online 10 October 2017 Source:Journal of the Anatomical Society of India Author(s): Mamata Sar, Srikanta Kumar Mishra, Manoj Kumar Dehury During routine dissection practice we observed that in a 50year old male cadaver the large intestine was situated in the left half of abdominal cavity and small intestine was on the right side. We studied the detailed organisation of different parts of gut and their derivatives and tried to find out its embryological significance. This type of arrangement of gut happens when the mid gut tube fails to rotate during its return into abdominal cavity after it...

Unilateral Complet Duplication of the Vas Deferens: Cadaveric Case Report
Publication date: Available online 10 October 2017 Source:Journal of the Anatomical Society of India Author(s): Murat Tezer, Ahmet Salbacak Duplication of the vas deferens is a rare congenital anomaly, and it can be complete or partial. It is usually discovered as an incidental finding during elective operations stich as a vasectomy, herniorrhaphy or varicocelectomy. During the educational dissection of a 72-year-old cadaver, a complete vas deferens duplication was observed on the left. If a vas deferens duplication is not appropriately diagnosed, it can result in surgical complications or an unsuccessful vasectomy. Sc...
