Evaluation of the Cranial Aperture of the Optic Canal on Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Images and its Clinical Implications for the Transcranial Approaches.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate morphometric properties of the cranial aperture (CA) of the optic canal.

Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 400 individuals (200 males and 200 females) aged 37.32 ± 15.

Anatomical Evaluation of the Foramen Magnum on Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Images and Review of Literature.

Background and objective The morphology and morphometry of the foramen magnum (FM), which provides a passageway to vital neurological structures that relay information to and from the brain and spinal cord, are significant for many surgical approaches and applications. It was aimed to investigate the morphometric and morphological features of the FM on the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and to review the literature in detail. Methods CBCT images of 400 individuals (200 males, 200 females, aged between 18 and 65) were evaluated by Planmeca Romexis Viewer.

A Thick Anastomotic Vein Between Cephalic and Lateral Radial Veins: Clinical Significance of an Unusual Variation.

This study presents a thick anastomosis between the cephalic vein and lateral radial vein which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported before in the literature. During routine cadaver dissection in the right upper extremity of a 54-year-old male cadaver; in the anterior cubital region, a very thick anastomotic branch was found by piercing the deep fascia, going upwards and laterally, and joining the cephalic vein. Deep dissection results showed that this branch provided an anastomosis between the lateral radial vein and cephalic vein.

Radiologic evaluation of the fossa navicularis: incidence, morphometric features, and clinical implications.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and morphometric and morphological characteristics of fossa navicularis (FN) on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of healthy adults MATERIALS AND METHODS: CBCT images of 900 individuals (450 males, 450 females, over the age of 18) admitted to Gaziantep University, Dentistry Faculty were retrospectively examined. The incidence and shape of FN were determined. Transverse diameter (TDFN), sagittal diameter (SDFN), depth in transverse section (DFNT), depth in sagittal section (DFNS), and the shortest distance between the deepest point of FN and intracranial cavity (FNI) were measured.

Anatomic features of the fetal round and oval windows, and their relations with the tympanic nerve.

Objective: The study aimed to examine morphometric properties of the round window (RW) and oval window (OW) and to show their relation with the tympanic nerve (the Jacobson's nerve, JN) in human fetuses from the otologic surgeon's perspective.

Methods: Thirty temporal bones of 15 fetal cadavers (8 males, 7 females) aged with 24.40 ± 3.

Anatomic features of the cranial aperture of the optic canal in children: a radiologic study.

Objective: This study aimed to peruse anatomic features of the cranial aperture of the optic canal (CAOC) for obtaining an extended morphometric dataset in children.

Methods: Computed tomography images of 200 children were included in this retrospective work to analyze the shape, location and diameters of the CAOC.

Results: The CAOC area, width and height were observed as 17.
