INTRODUCTION Dermal sinus tracts are rare congenital lesions located in the midline characterized by a cutaneous pit or dimple. They occur all along the midline neuroaxis, from the nasion and occipital area down to the lumbar and sacral regions, most frequently in the lumbar and lumbosacral region. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report a 5-year-old girl who presented with occasional headache. Ther...

background the caudal approach to the epidural space has been used for decades to treat low back pain caused by lumbosacral root compression. the use of fluoroscopy during epidural steroid injection is the preferred method for placing the needle more accurately in the sacral hiatus, but it carries the risk of radiation hazard. objectives the aim of the study was to assess the anatomical structu...

Aim: The merger of the fifth lumbar vertebrae with first sacral is called sacralisation vertebrae. purpose this study, changes in os sacrum were detected, and morphometric measurements made.Materials Methods: Measurements on 30 bones laboratory from Department Anatomy performed using a digital caliper sensitivity 0.01 millimeters (mm). Os taken. Results: In one examined sacrums, it was found th...

BACKGROUND This study determined the landmarks for caudal epidural block (CEB) after morphometric measurements of the sacral hiatus on dry sacral bones. Anatomical features of the sacral hiatus of clinical importance during CEB, along with distances and angles of use in detecting the apex, were measured. This provides detailed knowledge of the anatomy of the sacral hiatus and practical landmark...

in this study, a hybrid intelligent model has been designed to predict groundwater inflow to a mine pit during its advance. novel hybrid method coupling artificial neural network (ann) with genetic algorithm (ga) called ann-ga, was utilised. ratios of pit depth to aquifer thickness, pit bottom radius to its top radius, inverse of pit advance time and the hydraulic head (hh) in the observation w...

abandoned surface mine excavations can be a major environmental, social and/or human healthproblem for the mining industry as well as for the community living nearby. this problem is exacerbated by therapidly growing population encroaching on areas of historic mined lands. the aim of this studywas to assess thesafety status of the historic nyala mine excavation with the purpose of coming up wit...
