Anatomical variations of the hepatic artery in it's extra hepatic journey: a cadaveric study with its clinical implications.

Vascular anomalies are a serendipitous finding during surgeries and diagnostic angiography. Such variations are frequently encountered in the abdominal region. These anomalies are usually asymptomatic but the presence of hepatic arterial variations may lead to injuries of the liver during surgery.

Prevalence and Relevance of Multiple Renal Arteries: A Radioanatomical Perspective.

Background: A single renal artery supplies the kidney in 70% of the population but variation exists in the remaining 30%. Multiple renal arteries (MRA) in different permutations and combinations are one of the many forms of variants. Lack of awareness of multiplicity could have detrimental effects on the outcome of renal surgery.

Anatomical Variations of the Aortic Arch: A Computerized Tomography-Based Study.

Introduction Despite adequate preparation and meticulous pre-operative assessment, variations of the vascular anatomy of the aortic arch may lead to clinical dilemmas. In the present era, with the easy availability of imaging facilities, various anatomical variations can be found out prior to an interventional procedure. However, there are many countries including India where such facilities may still be not widely available.

A cadaveric study on variations in branching pattern of external carotid artery.

Variations in the vascular anatomy of the carotid triangle have been reported in current scientific literature. The carotid arteries, being the major feeding arteries of the head and neck deserve special importance and protection from iatrogenic injury during radiological evaluations and surgical interventions. The present study was carried out over a period of 4 years from 2012-2016 to assess the variant anatomy of external carotid artery.

Variations in the origin of superior laryngeal artery.

The superior laryngeal artery is the principal artery supplying the laryngeal mucosa, musculature, and glands. Knowledge of variations in the origin of superior laryngeal artery could prove to be very useful during reconstructive surgeries of the larynx, partial laryngectomy, laryngeal transplantation, and also during procedures like super-selective intra-arterial chemotherapy for laryngeal and hypolaryngeal cancers. However, relatively few studies have been done on the superior laryngeal artery in comparison to its clinical importance.

A Study of the Supratrochlear Foramen of the Humerus: Anatomical and Clinical Perspective.

Introduction: The Supratrochlear Foramen (STF) is a variably shaped perforation present in the bony septum that separates the olecranon and coronoid fossae at the distal end of the humerus, between the two epicondyles. Its incidence varies widely from 0.3% to 58% in different races.

An Anomalous Right Subclavian Artery with a Retrotracheal Course: A Case Report.

An aberrant right subclavian artery arising as the last vessel of the arch of aorta is an uncommon anatomic anomaly with prevalence reported between 0.2% and 2.0%.

Versatile but temperamental: a morphological study of palmaris longus in the cadaver.

Introduction: Palmaris longus (PL) is one of the most variable muscles in our body and is vestigial functionally. Its long tendon and its superficial location make it an ideal source for tendon harvesting. Variations such as absence, duplication and reversal have far reaching clinical impact.
