Connection between medial dorsal cutaneous nerve and saphenous nerve: case report.

Purpose: There are no data on the connection of the saphenous nerve (SN), located on the medial side of the foot, with the terminal branches of the superficial fibular nerve. The aim of this study is to reveal the variation that surgeons should pay attention to for anesthesia applied in foot surgeries.

Methods: In this study, the left foot of a 70-year-old female cadaver fixed with formalin was dissected.

A new classification of parasagittal bridging veins based on their configurations and drainage routes pertinent to interhemispheric approaches: a surgical anatomical study.

Objective: Opening the roof of the interhemispheric microsurgical corridor to access various neurooncological or neurovascular lesions can be demanding because of the multiple bridging veins that drain into the sinus with their highly variable, location-specific anatomy. The objective of this study was to propose a new classification system for these parasagittal bridging veins, which are herein described as being arranged in 3 configurations with 4 drainage routes.

Methods: Twenty adult cadaveric heads (40 hemispheres) were examined.

Positional and dimensional relation of tendons around the first metatarsal bone with hallux valgus.

Purpose: It was aimed to reveal whether the positions and dimensions of the extrinsic and intrinsic muscle tendons related to the hallux around the first metatarsal bone are affected by the severity of hallux valgus (HV) and whether tendon positional changes and tendon sizes affect each other.

Methods: In formalin-fixed 46 feet, three HV angle subgroups (normal, mild, and moderate/severe) were defined. Width, thickness, and cross-sectional area (CSA) of tendons of the extensor hallucis longus (EHL) and brevis (EHB), abductor hallucis (AH), and flexor hallucis longus (FHL) were measured.

Morphological features of the chiasma tendinum and its relation with surface landmarks and pulleys: a cadaveric study.

Aim: Chiasma tendinum (Camper's chiasm) is of great importance in the delicate movements and stability of the fingers and takes place poorly in the literature. This study aims to reveal the morphometric details of the chiasma tendinum in relation with pulleys and other relevant structures.

Materials And Methods: Palm and 2nd to 5th fingers of 10 (6 male, 4 female) formalin fixed cadavers were used bilaterally.

Autopsy findings of an isolated persistent left superior vena cava in an intrauterine dead fetus.

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is one of the cardiac system abnormalities with a 0.3-0.5% incidence and caused by inadequate obliteration of the left anterior cardinal vein during embryonic development.

Effects of different cadaver preservation methods on muscles and tendons: a morphometric, biomechanical and histological study.

No prior publication studying the biomechanical and histological properties of cadavers fixed with Logan or modified Logan solution (MLS) was found in the literature. It was aimed in this study to compare MLS fixation and other cadaver preservation procedures regarding the use in basic histological studies, anatomy education and surgical trainings. This study was placed on 35 male 17-week-old Wistar Albino rats.

Iliocapsularis muscle in human fetuses.

Purpose: To determine the incidence of the iliocapsularis muscle in fetal period and its relationship with the hip joint capsule.

Methods: Twenty-one formalin-fixed fetuses (12 female and 9 male) with a mean gestational age of 29 ± 3.89 weeks (range 25-36) were dissected to reveal morphological properties of iliocapsularis muscle.

Evaluation of the stapedial tendon growth dynamic in human fetuses.

Purpose: The main objective of the study was to investigate the morphometric properties of the stapedial tendon (ST) for pediatric otosurgeons and anatomists.

Methods: The present study was placed on 15 fetuses (8 females, 7 males) aged from 20 to 30 weeks of gestation (at mean, 24.27 ± 3.

Anatomic and histological analyses of chiasma plantare and long flexor tendons of the foot on human fetuses.

Purpose: The aim of present study was to reveal slip transfers related to flexor hallucis longus (FHL) and flexor digitorum longus (FDL) by dissection and to investigate detailed structure of chiasma plantare composed of FHL-FDL tendons and quadratus plantae (QP), with precise composition of the long flexor tendons of lesser toes by histological sections in human fetuses.

Method: Slip transfers related to FHL and FDL tendons were identified and the related morphometric measurements were taken with dissection in 28 formalin-fixed fetuses (25-40 weeks). Composition and restoration of chiasma plantare and long flexor tendons of lesser toes were traced histological by analyzing movements of the tissues on the sequential coronal sections in five fetuses in the third trimester.

Multiple muscular abnormalities in a fetal cadaver with CHARGE syndrome.

The CHARGE syndrome characterized by coloboma, heart defects, atresia of the choanae, retarded growth, genitourinary hypoplasia, and ear anomalies is one of the rare syndromes. Although certain clinical issues (scapular winging, sloping shoulder, Sprengel's deformity, kyphosis and scoliosis) which could be related to abnormalities in musculoskeletal structures of the neck and shoulder have been identified in CHARGE syndrome, data on details of muscle anomalies seem to be quite limited in the literature. In this case report, bilateral multiple muscular abnormalities (agenesis of the trapezius, presence of the rhombo-atloid muscle, and presence of the bipartite rhomboid minor with superficial and deep parts) was presented in a fetus cadaver with atypical CHARGE syndrome to attract the attention of clinicians for definitive diagnoses and surgical reconstruction of the shoulders deformity such as scapular winging and Sprengel's deformity.

Fetal anatomy of the facial nerve trunk and its relationship with posterior auricular artery.

Purpose: The aims of the study are to define anatomy of the facial nerve (FN) and its main trunks as well as their relationship with the posterior auricular artery in fetal period to evaluate the data for regional surgery in newborns and young infants.

Methods: Formalin-fixed 34 fetuses from anatomy laboratory collection with a mean gestational age of 26.4 ± 4.

Quantitative assessment of the growth dynamics of the teres major in human fetuses.

Purpose: The main objective of the study was to examine the use of teres major (TM) as a flap in the pediatric surgeries from an anatomical perspective by: (1) revealing the growth dynamics of the developing TM; (2) assessing the possible interconnecting structures between TM and latissimus dorsi (LD); (3) exposing the innervation patterns of TM in human fetuses.

Methods: Study was conducted on 50 fetuses (26 females and 24 males), on a mean gestational age of 22.86 ± 3.

Quantitative and Neurovascular Anatomy of the Growing Gracilis Muscle in the Human Fetuses.

This study is intended to obtain the algebraic growth dynamics of the gracilis in fetuses and determine the variations of neurovascular pedicle(s) of the gracilis, to aid infant surgeries. Forty fetuses (19 males and 21 females) were included in the study. Gestational mean age of the fetuses was 22.
