An unusual anatomical variation of the superior turbinate: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION The only anatomical variation of the superior turbinate defined in the literature is concha bullosa. Determination of anatomical variations of the intranasal structures is important to perform safe endoscopic sinus surgery and avoid complications. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of an unusual anatomical variation of the superior turbinate in a 55-year-old Turkish man with nasal obstruction and headache. CONCLUSIONS Anatomical variations of superior turbinate are very rare. Variations of intranasal structures can easily be detected with coronal plane paranasal sinus computed tomography.

متن کاملA Case Report: Rare Communication of Ansa Cervicalis
During the past few years, researchers and practitioners have developed novel techniques, using ansa cervicalis to innervate muscles of the larynx paralyzed due to surgical procedures carried out in the chest and neck areas. During routine dissection of a middle-age male cadaver, an unusual course of the superior root of the ansa cervicalis was observed. In this case, the su...
متن کاملThe Case Report: a Rare Anatomical Variant of Ansa Cervicalis
A rare variant of ansa cervicalis was discovered during routine dissection of the neck in a male cadaver. The superior root of the Ansa cervicalis was formed by the C1 ventral ramus. It fused with the vagus nerve in place of the hypoglossal nerve without any connection and descended into the carotid sheath with it. Then, C1 ventral ramus formed from the sheath and joined the inferior root from ...
