The mental foramen (MF) is an important anatomic landmark of the mandible, in which the somatic afferent sensory nerve of the mandibular nerve emerges as mental nerve and blood vessels. The identification and actual location of MF are important in order to avoid sensory dysfunction or paresthesia due to mental nerve injury. In the literature there are some rare reports on the anatomical variati...

The jugular foramina were examined in 156 skulls. In 69% of cases the right was larger than the left and in 23% the left was larger, with the remainder being of equal size. An obvious dome caused by a superior jugular bulb was present bilaterally in 54%, on the right only in 30%, on the left only in 6% and was absent bilaterally in 10%. Of the 312 jugular foramina examined there was no evidence...

A single-center, retrospective review between 2011 and 2018. total of 156 patients were treated for isolated blunt vertebral artery injuries (16 bilateral) underwent computed tomography angiography within 24 hours presentation. Injury location was classified as: V1 = subclavian origin to the entrance into C-6 transverse foramen; V2 C2-C6 V3 from C2 foramen magnum dura; V4 intradural. There 79 g...

Introduction. Patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) are sometimes severely hemodynamicly compromised. Urgent coronary angiography should be performed in these patients in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centers according to the ESC NSTE-ACS guidelines to determine suitabilty for percutaneous or surgical revascularization. Case report. We reported a 62-year-...

A n 83-year-old man was transferred to our hospital due to worsening effort angina pectoris. Electrocardiogram during chest pain at rest showed ST-segment elevation with hyperacute T waves and negative U waves in leads V2 through V4 (Figure 1A). Sublingual administration of nitroglycerin relieved him from chest pain, when electrocardiogram showed inverted T waves (Figure 1B). Biomarkers of myoc...

INTRODUCTION By using a combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) of the lumbar spine, it is possible to distinguish between spinal stenosis caused by bone compression and specific soft tissue epidural intraspinal lesions that cause localized spinal canal stenosis and neural compression. Examples include facet cysts and yellow ligament hypertrophy. Many of the...
