The next relay passes through centraln.0r ^mb the internal capsule and the corona radiata to end in the postCranial re^10n the cortex.

A unilateral four-headed pectoralis major muscle was observed on the left side of an 83 year-old Caucasian male cadaver. The accessory tendon arises from the lateral aspect of the pectoralis major muscle, travels along with the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii and blends into the capsule of the shoulder joint. This anomaly is rare. A complete or partial absence of pectoralis major ...

A case of an isolated popliteus tendon rupture occurring during sport in a skeletally immature athlete is presented. Treatment is not always clearly defined, as both nonoperative and operative have been successful. Because the outcome of rest from sports activity and failed trials of physical therapy allowed continued discomfort in the posterolateral aspect of the knee in this patient, repeat i...

Pterygodermatites ( Paucipectines ) hymanae n. sp. (Rictulariidae) collected from the Incan shrew opossum, Lestoros inca , from Peru is described herein. These nematodes show a subapical, slightly dorsal oral opening and a laterally compressed buccal capsule with 2 conspicuous lateral walls and a dorsal wall. Each lateroventral wall possesses 4 relatively large denticles, and the dorsal wall ha...

The anterior choroidal artery is commonly recruited to supply arteriovenous malformations in the temporal lobe, basal ganglia, lateral ventricle, and internal capsule. Embolization of this artery is theoretically hazardous owing to its supply to important motor territory, relative lack of collaterals, and small caliber. However, this procedure can be a beneficial adjunct to surgery or radiation...

In this article, the unusual association of optic disc temporal atrophy associated with scattered depressions with temporal preponderance in visual field test resembling incomplete bitemporal hemianopsia is reported. A 22-year-old man with cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM), which was located adjacent to the inferomedial portion of the posterior limb of the right internal capsule at the ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the topography of the saphenous nerve branches and of the popliteal neurovascular bundle of knee and to establish a low risk placement position of the posteromedial knee portal (PmKP). A slice anatomy study, by using plastinated transparent knee cross-sections was performed on 12 intact right male cadaver lower limbs. The measurements were performed at ...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the efficacy of a new anesthetic technique termed ultrasound-guided capsule-sheath space block (CSSB) combined with anterior cervical cutaneous nerve block (CCNB) for thyroidectomy. METHODS The study included two parts: Part one was an imaging study to determine technique feasibility. The CSSB was performed on five healthy volunteers by introducing the needle 0.5 cm la...

Clinicians and anatomists have ignored the superior tibiofibular joint too long. As Dr. Arthur Helfet5 states: "The superior tibiofibular joint has suffered clinical and literary neglect." Although pathology of this joint is relatively uncommon, it must be considered as a differential diagnosis. Persistent, vague symptoms of the lateral aspect of the knee may include pathology to the superior t...
