RESUMEN

Neurosensory disturbances (NSD) are the most widely recognized complication of bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO), but predictors of NSD remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identify factors predicting NSD following BSSRO. A retrospective cohort study of 129 consecutive patients with dentofacial deformities (median age 24.0 years; 76.0% female), who underwent BSSRO (95 without genioplasty, 34 with genioplasty), was conducted. The presence of NSD was evaluated at 6 months postoperatively and was found in 97 patients (absent in 32 patients). Potential NSD-related factors investigated were age, sex, genioplasty, mandibular canal type, inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) exposure, mandibular movement, and laterality. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to elucidate factors predicting NSD, with calculation of odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The dependent variable was defined as NSD after BSSRO. Independent variables were those with P < 0.100 in the univariate analysis. In the multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, NSD showed a significant association with BSSRO with genioplasty (adjusted OR 3.87, 95% CI 1.21-12.26; P = 0.022) and left IAN exposure (adjusted OR 4.69, 95% CI 1.49-14.73; P = 0.008). The study findings may lead to enhanced clinical outcomes for BSSRO.

RESUMEN

The aim of this human cadaveric study was to investigate the relationship between temporomandibular joint disc perforation and bony changes of the mandibular condyle. Overall, 135 cadaveric mandibles were used (69 male, 66 female; all White). Mean age at death was 78.7 years. Perforation of the disc was investigated. Differences in the area of the perforation according to the different types of bony change (erosion, flattening, osteophyte) were evaluated. Perforation of the disc was observed in 34.8% of all mandibles, occurring unilaterally in 53.2% of cases and bilaterally in 46.8%. The prevalence of perforation was 16.4% in cadavers <80 years old (67 heads) and 52.9% in those ≥80 years old (68 heads) (P < 0.001). Osteophyte formation was always identified along with other bony changes (21.7%) and never in isolation. The area of the perforation was significantly larger in the groups with bony changes (one, two, or three changes) than in the 'no bony change' group. The group with osteophyte formation showed a significantly larger perforated area than the group without osteophyte formation; likewise, the group with flattening showed a significantly larger perforated area than the group without flattening. Osteophytes and flattening are probably secondary bony changes that occur following disc perforation. Based on this study, disc perforation should be suspected when these findings are identified on imaging.

RESUMEN

The morphometry and morphology of the components of extrahepatic biliary tree show extensive variations. A beforehand recognition of these variations is very crucial to prevent unintended complications while performing surgeries in this region. This study was conducted to analyse the configuration of the extrahepatic biliary tree and its possible variations, as well as measure the components that limit the cystohepatic triangle. Articles were searched in major online indexed databases (Medline and PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science and Google Scholar) using relevant key words. A total of 73 articles matched the search criteria of which 55 articles were identified for data extraction. The length of left and right hepatic duct in majority of studies was found to be > 10 mm. A wide range of diameters of hepatic ducts were observed between 5 and 43 mm. The average length of cystic duct is around 20 mm. The length and diameter of the common bile duct are 50-150 mm and 3-9 mm, respectively. The most frequently observed pattern of insertion of cystic duct into common hepatic duct is right lateral, rarely anterior, or posterior spiral insertion can present. The results of this study will provide a standard reference range which instead will help to differentiate the normal and pathological conditions.

RESUMEN

Knowledge of anatomical variations of the heart are important to cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and radiologist. During routine dissection of a 77-year-old male cadaver, we observed an unusual origin of a papillary muscle of the right ventricle arising from the atrioventricular aspect of the moderator band. This papillary muscle was 6.7mm long and 2.6mm wide. It gave rise to two chordae tendineae: one to the inferior (posterior) papillary muscle of the right ventricle and one directly to the inferior (posterior) leaflet of the tricuspid valve. Variants of the internal anatomy of the heart as exemplified in the present case report should be born in mind during image interpretation and invasive procedures of the right ventricle of the heart.

RESUMEN

The number of meta-analyses (MA) and systematic reviews (SR) on various medical issues has increased during the last two decades. The MA and SR results may differ from one another due to a number of factors such as inaccurate or diverse searches through the databases, discrepancies in the extraction process or in statistical analysis, among others. Some results may even contradict one another, resulting in confusion among readers. Umbrella reviews (UR) have allowed the collection of all available data on a medical issue into one concise study, making it the source of evidence-based medical knowledge to the highest degree. Furthermore, UR can resolve those problems by collecting all data and taking into account both MA and SR, making it the superior tool for physicians. Although the pros of UR are clear and the overall popularity of these types of study has increased tremendously, there is no available step-by-step guide on how to conduct one. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to provide researchers with a detailed tutorial on how to conduct an UR. UR represent the next major step in the advancement of evidence-based medicine, with great practical potential for physicians looking for the most up-to-date data on their topic of interest. We hope that our step-by-step guide may be a useful tool for researchers conducting UR in the future.

RESUMEN

Knowledge of anatomical variations can be of use to clinicians and surgeons when, for example, viewing images of a patient or performing operations. Such knowledge can minimise the risk of iatrogenic complications. Herein, we present a case of a variant atlantomastoid muscle. The muscle was identified on the left side in an adult cadaver. The muscle's measurements and anatomical relationships are presented as well as a review of salient literature. We hope that increased knowledge of anatomical variants in the suboccipital region can improve patient care.

RESUMEN

The external carotid artery (ECA) is the major blood supply for structures in the head and neck. Typically, it has 8 separate branches; but there are many anatomical variations, making it difficult to predict surgical outcomes and complications without 3-dimensional imaging. This case study focuses on a cadaver with multiple anatomical variations in the ECA, i.e., lingual, facial, occipital, ascending pharyngeal, and posterior auricular arteries, found during routine dissection of the right cadaveric neck. We also discuss the incidences of several other anatomical variations of the ECA branches and their surgical implications and potential complications.

RESUMEN

Variations of the nerves of the forearm can lead to unexpected clinical findings during physical examination. Additionally, surgery in this region might encounter and potentially damage the nerve in such patients. Here, we present a case of a high split of the median nerve and discuss the findings of the case as well as review salient reports in the literature. Knowledge of such a variation can be important in patient diagnosis and treatment.

RESUMEN

Variations at the skull base can result in misinterpretation of radiological imaging and occasionally, iatrogenic injury. Here, we describe, to our knowledge, the second reported case of a duplicated foramen rotundum. The morphometrics of this finding are documented and the anatomy and potential clinical consequences of such an anatomical variation discussed. Such a finding is of archival value. Additionally, foramen rotundum duplication such as found in our case might also lead to complications while using, for example, transsphenoid approaches to the middle cranial fossa as well as various transfacial treatments for trigeminal neuralgia which rely on observing the foramina around the foramen ovale on fluoroscopy for correct positioning of needles and catheters.

RESUMEN

Deficiencies in the posterior arch of C1 have been well-studied with incidences ranging from 5.65% to 3% and five different classifications. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of information describing the detailed anatomy, muscle attachments, and histology of cases with a C1 posterior arch deficiency. We found a case of an isolated unilateral posterior arch defect in the 83-year-old male cadaver. Histology revealed that the posterior arch defect was filled with collagen fibres and fibrocartilaginous tissue without muscle or bony tissues. This is the first report detailing the histological findings of a posterior arch defect of C1.

RESUMEN

Anatomical variations can occasionally result in unexpected findings on physical examination. Here, we report two cases of seemingly unique connections between V2 and V3 parts of the trigeminal nerve. In these two cadaveric specimens, at the foramen ovale, small neural connections, confirmed with histology, were identified joining V2 to specifically, the motor root of V3. The findings of these two cadaveric specimens and the potential clinical ramifications are discussed.

RESUMEN

Typically, patients with Chiari I malformations (CM I) do not have other intracranial anatomical variations, especially vascular derailments. Here, we report the findings of a cadaveric specimen found to have CM I and cerebellar tonsils supplied by a single posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) i.e., a bihemispheric PICA. An adult male cadaver was found to have CM I. It was also noted that the left PICA descended inferiorly to the level of C1 and that there was absence of the right PICA. The territory of the right PICA was supplied by the left PICA. The tonsillar component of the left PICA gave rise to a branch that crossed to the right inferior cerebellum and herniated cerebellar tonsil. A bihemispheric PICA is very rare. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this vascular variation in combination with CM I. Such a variation should be kept in mind, especially during posterior fossa decompression for symptomatic CM I as unilateral PICA injury could have catastrophic results.

RESUMEN

The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) is an important surgical landmark for procedures involving the anterior cranial fossa. Many variations in the location and branching pattern of the AEA have been reported throughout the literature. These anatomical variations are important for surgeons to be familiar with as injury to the AEA can lead to massive haemorrhage, orbital haematomas, and cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. Anatomical landmarks such as the ethmoidal foramen can be used to identify the location of the AEA; however, it is also important to consider that the foramen may have variable presentations. If there is ever difficulty with identification of the AEA, surgeons should pursue a high-resolution computed tomography to minimise the risk of surgical complications. In this report, we present a rare case of a variant accessory anterior ethmoidal artery and nerve, and variations in the ethmoidal foramen found during cadaveric dissection.

RESUMEN

Although uncommon, variant muscular variations can occur related to the quadriceps femoris. Such variations might be encountered in the clinical setting so these should be documented. Here, we report three additional heads related to the rectus femoris muscle identified during routine dissection of the right thigh. To our knowledge, such a variation has not been previously reported.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is often difficult to diagnose. Moreover, while its anatomical characteristics have been well studied, its innervation and the contributions of particular nerves remain controversial, especially in relation to posterior joint innervation. To our knowledge, previous studies have not investigated the presence of nociceptive fibres in the nerves innervating the anterior SIJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight adult cadaveric sides underwent dissection of the anterior SIJ. Adjacent anterior rami were examined for branches to the anterior SIJ. Any branches contributing to the anterior SIJ were measured and then resected. These samples were fixed in formalin and substance P was identified immunohistologically. RESULTS: On all sides, 1-2 small branches (mean diameter of 0.33 mm) arose from the posterior aspect of the L4 anterior ramus (12.5%), the L5 anterior ramus (62.5%), or simultaneously from both the L4 and L5 anterior rami (25%). These branches had a mean length of 13.5 mm. All histological samples contained nerve tissue. All samples of nerve fibres traveling to the anterior SIJ were positive for diffuse substance P reactivity. There were no histological differences between sides or sex. Each of the branches identified as travelling to the SIJ exhibited similar positivity for substance P. CONCLUSIONS: This cadaveric study demonstrates that the anterior SIJ nerve fibres carry pain fibres. This new knowledge has application to patients with SIJ syndrome and to its various treatments including interventional approaches to SIJ pain.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The petroclinoid ligament (PCL) is an important structure in the petroclival region. The anatomy of the PCL and its relationship with the surrounding structure is highly variable. The aim of this study was to estimate the morphometry, prevalence of mineralization, and anatomy of the PCL. To achieve this, the authors carried out a meta-analysis, including all studies that report extractable data on the PCL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Major online medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, SciELO, BIOSIS, Current Content Connect, Korean Journal Database, and Russian Citation Index were searched to gather all studies regarding the anatomical characteristics, morphometry, and relationship with the anatomical surroundings of the PCL. RESULTS: A total of 25 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Data were gathered and analysed in eight categories: (1) mineralization of the PCL, (2) relationship of the abducens nerve with the PCL, (3) relationship of the dorsal meningeal artery with the PCL, (4) shape, number, and continuity of the PCL, (5) PCL anterior attachment, (6) PCL anterior attachment point on bone, (7) PCL posterior attachment point on bone, (8) morphometric features of the PCL. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the authors of the present study believe that this is the most accurate and up-to-date meta-analysis regarding the morphology and mineralization of the PCL. The data provided by the present study may be a useful tool for surgeons performing neurosurgical procedures, such as endoscopic transnasal surgeries. Detailed anatomical knowledge of the petroclival region can surely prevent surgical complications when operating in this area.

RESUMEN

Considerable variations have been reported regarding the branching pattern of tibial nerve (TN) close to its termination in foot. In order to comprehend the clinical anatomy of heel pain awareness of all the possible variations in relation to terminal branching pattern of TN (close to the tarsal tunnel) is essential. The present study was conducted to undertake a comprehensive review of the variations in TN branches in foot with particular emphasis on the implications for sensory distribution of these branches. Articles were searched in major online indexed databases using relevant key words. The pattern of termination of TN was noted as either trifurcation or bifurcation. Bifurcation pattern was more commonly observed and is associated with the medial calcaneal nerve (MCN) either arising high or low relative to the tarsal tunnel. The most commonly noted type of bifurcation was proximal to malleolar-calcaneal axis but within the tarsal tunnel. Across all five types of bifurcation reported in literature, the termination points of TN ranged from 3 cm proximal to 3 cm distal to malleolar-calcaneal axis and, therefore, the area beyond this region can be considered as safe zone for performing invasive procedures. MCN showed considerable variations in its origin both in trifurcation and bifurcation pattern pertaining to number of branches (one/two/three) at the point of origin. The origin of inferior calcaneal nerve was observed to be relativelyless variable as it mostly arose as a branch of lateral plantar nerve and sometimes as a direct branch from TN before termination. The frequent variation of MCN in the tarsal tunnel should be kept in mind while undertaking decompression measures in medial ankle region.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The petrosal artery supplies several structures at the skull base and is often the focus of various neurointerventional procedures. Therefore, knowledge of its anatomy and variations is important to surgeons and interventionalists. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty latex injected cadaveric heads (40 sides) underwent microsurgical dissection of the petrosal artery. Documentation of the course of the artery and its branches were made. Measurements of the petrosal artery's length and diameter were performed using microcallipers. RESULTS: A petrosal artery was identified on all sides. The mean length and diameter of the artery within the middle cranial fossa was 2.4 cm and 0.38 mm, respectively. Branches included the following: dural, ganglionic, V3 branches, branches extending through the foramen ovale, branches directly to the greater petrosal and lesser petrosal nerves, branches to the floor of the hiatus of the greater and lesser petrosal nerves, branch to the arcuate eminence, and superior tympanic artery. No statistically significant differences were noted between male and female specimens, but right-sided petrosal arteries were in general, larger in diameter than left sides. CONCLUSIONS: A thorough anatomical knowledge of the petrosal artery and to its relationship to the facial nerve and other neurovascular structures is necessary to facilitate effective endovascular treatment and to preclude facial nerve complications.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The goal of the present study was to provide accurate data on the prevalence and morphometrical aspects of the cranio-orbital foramen (COF), which can surely be of use by surgeons performing procedures on the lateral orbit. Furthermore, the embryology and the clinical significance of this osseous structure were thoroughly discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Major online medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched to find all relevant studies regarding COF. RESULTS: Eventually, a total of 25 studies that matched the required criteria and contained complete and relevant data were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of COF was found to be 48.37% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 41.67-55.10%). The occurrence of the COF unilaterally was set to be 71.92% (95% CI: 41.87-96.97%). The occurrence of the COF bilaterally was set at 26.08% (95% CI: 3.03-58.13%). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, we believe that this is the most accurate and up-to- -date study regarding the anatomy of the COF. The COF is prevalent in 48.37% of the cases, and it is most frequently unilateral (73.92%). Furthermore, the prevalence of accessory COFs was found to be 16.72%. The presence of these foramina may represent a source of haemorrhage that ophthalmic surgeons should be aware of when performing procedures in the lateral part of the orbit.

RESUMEN

The pathophysiology of migraines and headaches has been a point of interest in research as they affect a large subset of the population, and the exact mechanism is still unclear. There is evidence implicating the dura mater and its innervation as contributing factors, especially at the posterior cranial fossa. Many modes of innervation have been identified, including the dorsal root ganglion, superior cervical ganglion, vagus nerve, trigeminal nerve, hypoglossal nerve, and glossopharyngeal nerve. While the exact method of innervation is still under investigation, there is strong evidence suggesting that different types of headaches (migraine vs. occipital vs. cervicogenic) are due to specific nerves and inflammatory mediators that contribute to the dura mater in some way. By understanding how these innervation patterns manifest clinically, the course of treatment can be tailored based on the physiological aetiology. Here, we present a comprehensive literature review of the current research regarding the innervation of the dura mater of the posterior cranial fossa and its clinical implications.
