Background In a didactic lecture (DL), students listen, take notes, and passively accept the knowledge. Case-based learning (CBL) uses clinical cases for active learning and productive outcome. Although some studies have shown that DL is less effective than CBL, the results were inconclusive.

- The atlas (first cervical vertebra) is crucial for understanding craniovertebral junction anomalies and their surgical correction.
- In a study measuring the superior articular facet (SAF) of 150 atlas specimens, it was found that the left SAF was significantly wider than the right, with various morphological shapes observed.
- Recognizing these size and shape variations of the SAF can aid in surgical procedures at the craniovertebral junction.
The present study describes a rarely reported co-existence of variant muscles in the right upper limb of a male cadaver of 57 years of age, observed during routine anatomical dissection. There was a presence of the biaponeurotic palmaris longus with a central muscle belly in the anterior forearm region which was closely related to the median nerve. In addition to this, an accessory abductor digiti minimi muscle was also reported in the corresponding hypothenar region, traversing the Guyon's canal, passing superficial to the ulnar vessels and nerves.
