Morphological variations of human pulmonary fissures: an anatomical cadaveric study in Sri Lanka

The aim of this study was to identify morphological and morphometric variations pulmonary fissures. A sample 50 adult formalin fixed Sri Lankan cadaveric lungs (24 left 26 right lungs) were observed with the help magnifying glass length measurements lung fissures taken using a measuring tape. Complete oblique fissure seen in 16 (66.67%) 11 (42.3%) lungs. Incomplete 8 (33.33%) 15 (57.69%) There complete absent horizontal 4 (15.38%) whereas rest 22 indicated incomplete (84.61%). mean lengths fissure, 26.88±5.88cm, 27.31±6.04 cm 8.31±3.61 cm, respectively. most common variant analyzed sample. high prevalence followed by Absence not found either or slightly greater than fissure. knowledge fissures, indeed clinicians radiologists alterations disease distribution reduce misinterpretation radiological modalities as well arrive at an accurate diagnosis plan management patient.
