Anatomical Variations of the Right Adrenal Vein
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is currently considered the most frequent cause of secondary hypertension, with an estimated prevalence of ≈11% in hypertensive patients. Because a unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma can be cured by adrenalectomy and bilateral hyperaldosteronism is usually treated medically, adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is necessary to provide a subtype diagnosis of PA. However...
متن کاملLong saphenous vein and its anatomical variations
Vascular ultrasonography has an important role in the diagnosis and management of venous disease. The venous system, however, is more complex and variable compared to the arterial system due to its frequent anatomical variations. This often becomes quite challenging for sonographers. This paper discusses the anatomy of the long saphenous vein and its anatomical variations accompanied by sonogra...
متن کاملANATOMICAL VARIATIONS OF THE CHORDA TYMPANI NERVE
The author studied anatomical variations of the origin of the chorda tympani nerve from the mastoid portion of the facial nerve. The studies were performed on 200 specimens of human temporal bone. It was found that the chorda tympani may arise from the facial nerve in three levels: most commonly from the mid third of its mastoid segment (70%), less commonly from the proximal third (20%), an...
متن کاملCT mapping of the vertebral level of right adrenal vein.
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) venous mapping for the localization of the right adrenal veins (RAV) in patients suffering from primary aldosteronism. METHODS MDCT scans of 75 patients with primary aldosteronism between March 2008 and November 2011 were evaluated by two readers (a junior [R1] and a senior [R2] radiologist) according to the...
متن کاملAnatomical Variations of Vertebral Artery
Introduction: Vertebral arteries arise from the root of the neck as the first branches from the superior-posterior aspect of the subclavian arteries. They ascend the neck to enter the cranial cavity and supply blood to the brain. Methods: A total of 20 cadavers (in 10 years) were dissected for the study of variations in the origin of the vertebral artery. This study was conducte...
