Median Nerve Entrapment by Superficial Brachioulnar Artery: Anatomical Insights and Clinical Perspective.

Entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve is typically caused by compression at specific anatomical points. However, idiopathic cases, where the standard anatomical compression points are normal, pose diagnostic challenges. This report highlights a unique case discovered during an anatomical dissection of the right upper limb in a 62-year-old male cadaver, where the median nerve was compressed by an unusual branch of the brachial artery, termed the superficial brachioulnar artery (SBUA).

Atlanto-occipital assimilation: embryological basis and its clinical significance.

Atlanto-occipital assimilation is an osseous embryological anomaly of the craniovertebral junction in which the atlas (C1) is fused to the occiput of skull. Embryologically, this assimilation may happen due to failure of the segmentation and separation of the caudal occipital and the cranial cervical sclerotome. The segmentation clock is maintained by NOTCH and WNT signalling pathways along with and retinoic acid.

Vascular foramina of talus: an anatomical study with reference to surgical dissection.

Purpose: To study the distribution and morphometry of vascular foramina of adult human talus in Indian population.

Methods: The study was carried out by using 56 adult human tali. The location, size, number and foraminal index of vascular foramina on head, neck and body of each bone were examined macroscopically.

Duplication of Right Testicular Vein: Embryological and Clinical Consideration- A Case Report.

The testis is the organ upon which the survival of the human species depends. Abnormalities of testicular vessels may lead to loss of gametogenesis and hormone production. The gonadal veins are anatomically asymmetric and there are several anatomical variations involving them.
