Anatomy of the corrugator supercilii muscle: part I. Corrugator topography.

BACKGROUND Complete corrugator supercilii muscle resection is important for the surgical treatment of migraine headaches and may help prevent postoperative abnormalities in surgical forehead rejuvenation. Specific topographic analysis of corrugator supercilii muscle dimensions and its detailed association with the supraorbital nerve branching patterns has not been thoroughly delineated. Part I ...

Microsurgical anatomy of cerebral revascularization. Part I: anterior circulation.

OBJECT Revascularization is an important component of treatment for complex aneurysms that require parent vessel occlusion, skull base tumors that involve major vessels, and certain ischemic diseases. In this study, the authors examined the microsurgical anatomy of cerebral revascularization in the anterior circulation by demonstrating various procedures for bypass surgery. METHODS Twenty-fiv...

Ankle anatomy for the arthroscopist. Part I: The portals.

Proper portal placement is critical to performing good diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy. When the portals are positioned improperly, visualization can be impaired, making diagnosis and treatment more difficult. Three main anterior portals are available in arthroscopy of the ankle: anteromedial, anterolateral, and anterocentral. Posterior portals are also routinely used in ankle arthroscop...

Carpal tunnel syndrome – Part I (anatomy, physiology, etiology and diagnosis)☆☆☆

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is defined by compression of the median nerve in the wrist. It is the commonest of the compressive syndromes and its most frequent cause is idiopathic. Even though spontaneous regression is possible, the general rule is that the symptoms will worsen. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, from the symptoms and provocative tests. Electroneuromyographic examination may ...
