The chorda tympani is an important anatomical structure in the tympanic cavity. It may have some anatomic variations. Its anatomic variations are of interest in certain otologic surgical procedures. There are limited reports in the literature about the variations of the chorda tympani. A 49-year-old female patient was refered to our clinic because of conductive hearing loss and tympanic membran...

Fracture of the anatomic neck of the humerus is often associated with glenohumeral dislocation. One of the main consequences of anatomic neck fracture is necrosis. Hertel et al showed that with intra-articular fracture of the humeral head, anatomic neck fracture and concurrent disruption of the medial vascular hinge lead to a high risk of necrosis. Loofburrow was the first, in 1905, to describe...

PURPOSE To develop and evaluate an anatomic reconstruction procedure of the posterolateral and anteromedial bundles of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). TYPE OF STUDY Anatomic study and case series. METHODS The femoral attachment of the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of the ACL was anatomically analyzed with 5 cadaveric knees. Using another 3 cadaveric knees, anatomic reconstru...

BACKGROUND For Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) treated with hepatectomy, the extent of the resection margin remains controversial and data available on its effect on early tumor recurrence are very few and contradictory. The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of the type of resection (anatomic versus non-anatomic) on early intra-hepatic HCC recurrence in patients with solitary HCC a...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this retrospective study was twofold: (1) to show the role of multi-detector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) in the evaluation of intracranial arterial anatomic variations; (2) to highlight their clinical importance with illustrated example cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS One thousand seven hundred thirty-nine patients who underwent carotid and/or cerebral CTA using...

Acromioclavicular joint separations are common shoulder injuries in the active patient population. Nonoperative management is recommended for Rockwood type I and II injuries, whereas surgical reconstruction is recommended for type IV and VI separations. The management for type III and V injuries is more controversial and is determined on a case-by-case basis. A multitude of surgical reconstruct...

Cardiac MRI (CMR) is replacing diagnostic cardiac catheterization as the modality of choice for anatomic and functional characterization of congenital heart disease (CHD) when echocardiographic imaging is insufficient. In this manuscript, we discuss the principles of anatomic imaging of CHD, placing emphasis on the appropriate choice and modification of pulse sequences necessary to evaluate inf...

the purpose of this study was to identify the anatomic structures of the abdominal region of cat throughcomputed tomography (ct) to be used by veterinary radiologists, clinicians and surgeons. the abdominalregion of four cats were scanned twice, with and without using contrast medium in a same position, usinghigh-resolution imaging protocol. slice intervals were 11 mm and were adjusted so that ...

a case of unusual root morphology is presented to demonstrate anatomic variations in mandibular second molars. the most common configuration of mandibular second molar is to have two roots with three root canals; however mandibular molars may have many different combinations. endodontic therapy was performed in a mandibular second molar with 3 separate roots 2 located mesially and one distally....
