The Confusion of Determining the Landmark in the Craniofacial Soft Tissue Analyzes: Nasion or Sellion?

In the literature, most of the craniofacial anthropometric landmarks found on both bones and soft tissue have been clearly defined and widely used. However, it seems that few landmarks such as nasion are generally often set incorrectly. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to examine the nasion and sellion in the dry bones and to review the definitions of each landmarks.

Patterns of motor branching of the musculocutaneous nerve in human fetuses and clinical significance.

The purpose of this morphologic study is to investigate the course and the branching pattern of motor branches of musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) in human fetuses. Twenty upper limbs (10 right, 10 left) of spontaneously aborted formalin-fixed fetuses were dissected under a stereomicroscope to determine motor branches for the biceps brachii and brachialis and the communicating branches between the MCN and median nerve (MN). The MCN entered the proximal and middle part of coracobrachialis in 13/20 and 5/20 of arms, respectively, and the remaining 2/20 did not pierce coracobrachialis.
