The authors report a radio-anatomic study of the carotid axis in the context of the implantation of microsurgical vascular anastomoses. The information derived from 36 dissections and 50 arteriographic studies suggests the preferential use of the superior thyroid, facial and lingual branches. Section and turning-down of the external carotid and direct end-to-side implantation on the common carotid could provide fall-back solutions when the collaterals are slender. Because of anatomic variations and frequent atheromatous lesions, arteriographic study before implantation appears essential.

Musculoskeletal Dimension and Brightness Reference Values in Lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging-A Radio-Anatomic Investigation in 80 Healthy Adult Individuals.

J Clin Med

Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Musculoskeletal University Center Munich (MUM), University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, Marchioninistr. 15, 81377 Munich, Germany.

: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred diagnostic means to visualize spinal pathologies, and offers the possibility of precise structural tissue analysis. However, knowledge about MRI-based measurements of physiological cross-sectional musculoskeletal dimensions and associated tissue-specific average structural brightness in the lumbar spine of healthy young women and men is scarce. The current study was planned to investigate characteristic intersexual differences and to provide MRI-related musculoskeletal baseline values before the onset of biological aging.

A new classification proposal for sphenoid sinus pneumatization: a retrospective radio-anatomic study.

January 2021

Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskişehir, Turkey.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on categorizing the diverse variations of the sphenoid sinus, which are important for surgeries like pituitary operations, emphasizing the need for surgeons to understand these variations.
  • - Using CBCT imaging, researchers proposed a new classification for sphenoid sinus pneumatizations and found distinct incidence rates in a sample of 128 patients in Turkey, with postsellar being the most prevalent type.
  • - The findings suggest that recognizing these sinus variations is crucial for surgical planning, as they can significantly impact the surgical field and the proximity to vital structures.

Introduction: There is a considerable controversy about approaches that preserve hearing in acoustic neuroma surgery. Transtemporal approaches have the advantage of extradural drilling and minimal cerebellar retraction. We aimed to measure the limits and exposure of extended infra/retrolabyrinthine approach using temporal bone dissection and temporal high resolution computed tomography (HRCT).

Background And Purpose: The objective of this project was to define consensus guidelines for delineating brainstem substructures (dorsal vagal complex, including the area postrema) involved in radiation-induced nausea and vomiting (RINV). The three parts of the brainstem are rarely delineated, so this study was also an opportunity to find a consensus on this subject.

Materials And Methods: The dorsal vagal complex (DVC) was identified on autopsy sections and endoscopic descriptions.
