Dorsal pancreatic agenesis is a very rare congenital anomaly. Unilateral renal agenesis, on the other hand, is a relatively common congenital anomaly, although its etiology is not fully understood. Renal and pancreatic embryologic development appears to be nonrelated. We report a case of a 34-year-old man who was referred to our hospital for evaluation of cholestasis and microalbuminuria. Ultra...

BACKGROUND Even though tooth agenesis is the most common developmental anomaly of the human dentition, its genetic background and pathogenic mechanism(s) still remain poorly understood. Syndromic and isolated forms of hypodontia have been described and can occur sporadically or in families. OBJECTIVES We describe and analyse the hypo-/oligodontia phenotype variations in families. The index pa...

The Palmaris longus muscle (PLM) is a slender, fusiform muscle which lies on the flexor surface of the forearm. Its agenesis is considered the most frequent anatomic variation in the muscular system of the human body. The PLM has little functional use to the human upper limb. It is evidenced by former epidemiological studies that the agenesis of the PLM has a strong racial and ethnic variabilit...

This newborn was delivered full term normal vaginal delivery to a mother who had uncontrolled Diabetes. Baby had bilateral hypotonia in lower limbs and a sacral dimple. X-ray show absent vertebrae below 2 lumbar. Lumbosacrococcygeal agenesis is one of the complications of uncontrolled Maternal Diabetes. In general population the incidence of this condition is less than 0.01%. 16% of the patient...

Women's preferences for penis size may affect men's comfort with their own bodies and may have implications for sexual health. Studies of women's penis size preferences typically have relied on their abstract ratings or selecting amongst 2D, flaccid images. This study used haptic stimuli to allow assessment of women's size recall accuracy for the first time, as well as examine their preferences...

The ductus venosus regulates the distribution of oxygen and placental nutrients by restricting the centralization of blood flow in fetal circulation. The ductus venosus is a small vein transmitting oxygen-rich blood from the umbilical vein to the fetal heart.. Increasing numbers of case reports are being published about ductus venosus agenesis with cardiac structural abnormalities, other malfor...

conclusions in the determination via 3d cranial tomography the presence of the parietal bones is important because, in case of agenesis the tension band does not benefit and on the contrary it creates extra stress on cerebral tissue. case report we presented a case with metopic and sagitta suture cranioschisis mimicking bilateral parietal bone agenesis (university of izmir of medicine, turkey, ...
