The total number of septa and antra in the sphenoid sinuses - evaluation before the FESS.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to define the total number of septa and the total number of antra in the sphenoid sinuses (created as a result of the presence of additional septa), as well as the relation between the number of the septa and their location in the adult population.

Materials And Methods: e study was conducted as a retrospective analysis of the computed tomography (CT) scans of the paranasal sinuses of 296 patients (147 females and 149 males), who did not present any pathology in the sphenoid sinuses. The CT scans of the paranasal sinuses were done with the spiral CT scanner (Siemens Somatom Sensation 16) by using a standard procedure, in the option Siemens CARE Dose 4D, without using any contrast medium.

Classification system of the tibiofibular syndesmosis blood supply and its clinical relevance.

Due to the lack of anatomical studies concerning complexity of the tibiofibular syndesmosis blood supply, density of blood vessels with further organization of syndesmotic vascular variations is presented in clinically relevant classification system. The material for the study was obtained from cadaveric dissections. We dissected 50 human ankles observing different types of arterial blood supply.

Ossification of the petrosphenoid ligament - a case study.

The current study presents a case in which a human skull revealed a partially ossified petrosphenoid ligament. The ossified ligament appears as a hooked bony trabecula emerging below the right posterior clinoid process. Another bony trabecula arises from the petrous apex and runs towards the clivus.

Vascular density of inferior tibiofibular joint - cadaveric experimental study.

The study was carried out on 50 human lower legs obtained during autopsies (KBET: 122.6120.315.

Morphology, topography and clinical signi cance of the jugular foramen.

The paper describes morphological variants of the jugular foramen of the human skull and discusses the reasons for its frequent asymmetry. Bilateral disproportions between the anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters of the jugular foramina were analyzed. We established that the jugular foramen is extremely narrow when its anteroposterior diameter is less than 5.

Blood vessels of the shin - anterior tibial artery - anatomy and embryology - own studies and review of the literature.

Injuries of the lower leg are rather frequent in every day orthopedic routine. Process of healing takes quite a long time and is commonly dependent on the proper vasculature. e study was carried out on 50 human lower legs obtained during autopsies.

Certain remarks on blood supply of normal human uterine corpus - corrosion casting and SEM study.

Corrosion casting and scanning electron microscopy are currently best available technique which allows observation of microvascular bed of different anatomical structures and obtaining quasi 3-D pictures, necessary for reconstruction of microvessels. Application of synthetic resins, which fill practically the whole vascular bed enables profound analysis of such obtained specimens.

Inferior tibiofibular joint (tibiofibular syndesmosis) - own studies and review of the literature.

The study was carried out on 50 human lower legs obtained during autopsies. The anatomy of the joint was studied using classical anatomical description methods. Based also on literature we have reviewed the current knowledge on the inferior tibiofibular joint.

Morphology of tributaries of coronary sinus in humans - corrosion casting study.

The study was carried out on 80 human hearts obtained during autopsies. The vascular beds were filled with synthetic resin and next corroded. In all 80 hearts we have been found both: great, middle and small cardiac veins.

Syndrome of canal of Guyon - definition, diagnosis, treatment and complication.

Syndrome of canal of Guyon is the second after carpal tunnel syndrome, compression syndrome in the wrist. Opposite to median nerve compression, ulnar nerve compression is not very popular. However it impairs functioning of the hand even more than median nerve lesion.

Human coronary sinus - from Galen to modern times.

Based on the review of the current literature and our own experiences we reviewed the literature paying most attention to human venous coronary system with special respect to coronary sinus - the largest vein of the heart. Many details still remain obscure, although most of modern procedures require deep anatomical knowledge on cardiac veins. Many of developmental remarks are still not clear, regarded to development of the vessels of the heart in association with origin of heart conductive system.

Blood vessels of the shin - posterior tibial artery - anatomy - own studies and review of the literature.

Anatomy of the vascular system of the leg was studied using classical anatomical dissection methods. Based also on literature we have reviewed the current knowledge on the vascularization of the lower leg and its embryological background with special respect toward the posterior tibial artery and its branches.

Number and distribution of interstitial cells of Cajal in human gallbladder.

Based on the review of current literature and on their own studies authors postulate that decreased number of interstitial cells in the wall of gallbladder may be pathognomonic for gallstone disease (cholelithiasis).

Median nerve (anatomical variations) and carpal tunel syndrome - revisited.

Carpal tunnel syndrome belongs to the most common causative factors of surgical interventions in the wrist region. Anatomy of carpal tunnel and median nerve is a subject of current revision. Authors paid attention to etiology of the syndrome based on review of literature and their own anatomical studies.

Bridges of the sella turcica - anatomy and topography.

This paper presents anatomy and topography of the inconstant osseous bridges that may occur in the sella turcica region. The interclinoid bridge and the caroticoclinoid bridge can be formed in consequence of abnormal ossification of the dural folds or disturbances in development of the sphenoid bone. Their presence may be of clinical importance because of potential influence on the neurovascular structures passing in the vicinity of the clinoid processes of the sphenoid bone.
