His Master's thesis was about neuronal injury and astrogliosis. This case study reports a rare variation of the superior laryngeal artery (SLA), which is the principal arterial supply of the larynx. The knowledge of the arterial variations is essential for the surgeons to prevent blood loss and postoperative complications. During routine dissection of an adult male cadaver, a rare arterial vari...

introduction: mental foramen (mf) is an important anatomic landmark in dentistry and knowledge about its variable locations (l) and type of emergence (te), has an effect on the sufficiency of local anesthesia and safety of surgical procedures. the aim of this study was to evaluate the l and te of this radiographic landmark as well as the presence of accessory mf, by means of cone-beam computed ...

The foramen tympanicum is an anatomical variation that is created in the tympanic plate of temporal bone during the first year of life. The tympanic plate grows and foramen tympanicum is gradually closed by about the fifth postnatal year. However, due to a defect in normal ossification, foramen tympanicum sporadically remains throughout life. The construction of a shopping center in Tabriz, nor...

meningiomas are rare tumors of posterior fossa. delayed intracranial hemorrhage is a rare complication of surgeries in this territory. herein, we report a case of status epilepticus as a result of delayed motor cortex hemorrhage, complicating resection of a meningioma arising from foramen magnum.

To the Editor: Lingual thyroid is a rare embryological anomaly caused by failure of the gland to descend from the foramen cecum to its normal site in the pre-laryngeal area. Its precise pathogenesis is u...

conclusions the mental foramina were most commonly located between the first and second premolars and below the apex. a continuous appearance was the most common appearance for the mental foramen, which was similar in males and females. background the position of the mental foramen is critical for surgery and local anesthesia. objectives this study was conducted to assess the position of the me...

Introduction: Regarding the anatomic variety in the anterior mandible it is necessary to obtain adequate information about the vital structures in this area to protect them in dental surgeries and preventing injuries that might occur afterwards. The aim of this study is to describe anatomic characteristics of mental foramen and anterior loop on CBCT images.  Materials and Methods: On CBCT imag...
