[Auriculo temporal nerve. Neuroanatomic bases of the Frey's syndrome].

The aim of this study was to precise the relationships of the auriculotemporal nerve in the infratemporal and parotid regions. We realized micro-dissections of thirty-two infratemporal and parotid regions of human cadaver's formol-fixed. The pattern of origin was: one root: 15.

[Claudio Galeno and the lateral ventricles].

Galen of Pergamon is considered one of the fathers of occidental medicine. Because of cultural and religious precepts at his time, many authors hypothesize that the anatomical concepts of Galen were derived from dissection of monkeys. In this paper, the authors analyzed the ventricular system, according to the anatomic and functional concepts described by Galen's early work.
