متن کاملCervical Rib and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
A cervical rib is a supernumerary rib that occasionally projects from the lateral mass of the 7th cervical vertebra. Clinically, it can cause obscure nervous or vascular symptoms, and it is difficult to diagnose.

متن کاملCBCT Evaluation of the Position of Palatal Neurovascular Bundle and the Greater Palatine Foramen in an Iranian Population
Background and Aim: Traumatization of the palatal neurovascular bundle (NVB) is a potential complication of soft tissue graft harvesting from the palate. Thus, it is imper-ative to have adequate knowledge about the position and path of the NVB. This study assessed the position of palatal NVB and the greater palatine foramen (GPF) in an Ira-nian population using cone-beam computed tomography (CB...
