Synovial sarcoma is a soft tissue sarcoma especially encountered in the lower extremities. The infratemporal fossa is quite a rare location. Since it is a closed location, combined approaches and multidisciplinary planning always need to be considered. This case emphasizes the high-grade character of synovial sarcoma, which causes it to recur often. The difficulty of clear surgical margins in t...

The rhomboid fossa of clavicle was studied globally by forensic experts and anthropologists to determine the age and sex. This study was done on samples of human clavicles from North Karnataka of South India to determine the sexual dimorphism which is of anthropological, forensic and clinical importance. In this study mid shaft circumference, morphology of rhomboid fossa of clavicle was analyse...

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of sinus venosus defects remains a matter of debate. It is crucial to provide solid anatomical criteria, by identifying the very nature of the atrial septum relative to sinus venosus defects, to diagnose and differentiate them from other interatrial communications. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to reestablish the anatomical criteria for the diagnosis of sinus veno...

Background and Objectives: The palatine nerves vessels cross the pterygopalatine fossa, canals, foramina submucosal space, at level of hard palate recess maxillary sinus. Their trajectory is long, complicated difficult to highlight on a single dissection piece. In literature that we studied, did not find clear images fully real configuration ganglion vessels. Our aim was provide representative ...

conclusion our results concerning cranium morphometry support the theory that hypoplastic posterior cranial fossa due to mesodermal insufficiency may play a role in the etiology of tonsillar herniation. results in individuals with tonsillar herniation, while the front-back diameter of the foramen magnum, the cerebellum height, and the sagittal diameter of the cerebellum increased, the maximum c...

Intrasellar arachnoid cysts represent around 1% of all selar lesions. Generally, patients are asymptomatic and when they exhibit visual and/or hormonal disturbances, the indication for surgery is prompted. A 51-year-old woman with a known purely intrasellar cyst diagnosed 23 years prior to presentation, evolved gradual campimetric evaluation. Magnetic resonance imaging showed significant growth...

A notchlike bone defect in the basiocciput due to a prominent fossa navicularis was incidentally discovered in a patient referred for radiologic evaluation of sinusitis. MR images showed that the osseous defect was filled with lymphoid tissue of the pharyngeal tonsil. The occurrence of this anatomic variant is discussed, with reference to ancient anatomic works.

lar foramen. It lodges the jugular bulb, which continues into the jugular vein inferiorly (Fig. 1). In the neurosurgical literature, and even in extensive anatomic studies, both the jugular foramen and the jugular fossa often are referred to by the term "jugular foramen." This use of the term may be the result either of simple error or the user's wish to provide a broader anatomic description o...

The patient is a 19 year old man from Kerman. His chief complain is dysphagia and a stabbing unilateral sore throat for the past two years. His other symptoms  are painful sensation in the right tonsilar fossa, painful deglutioon and sensation of pain which increases and radiates during speaking, physical excretion and deep breathing . Patient admitted that he has had several periods of hospita...
