An anatomical investigation of the proximal vertebral arteries (V1, V2)

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader An anatomical investigation of the proximal vertebral arteries (V1, V2) in a select South African population Via radiol anat Surg Radiol Anat. 2021 Mar 10. doi: 10.1007/s00276-021-02712-x. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: The most common type of vascular complication during cervical spine surgery is the vertebral artery (VA) injury. The presence of anatomical variation in the artery's morphology has been a significant factor for arterial injury during surgery. Therefore, physicians planning interventions in the craniospinal region need to be aware of the extents of variations. In addit ion to vascular injury, anatomical variations can predispose to some pathologies in the posterior circulation territory. To provide useful data to interventional radiologists, anatomists, and surgeons, we evaluated the anatomical features of the V1 and V2 segments of the VA in a South African population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study is an observational, retrospective chart review of 554 consecutive South African patients (Black, Indian and White) who had undergone computed tomography angiography (CTA) from January 2009 to September 2019. RESULTS: The VA exhibited morphological variation in its course. We report the incidence of variant origin of the left VA, all from the aortic arch. Variation in the level of entry into the transverse foramen ranged between C7 and C3. A left dominant pattern was observed; we also report on hypoplasia of the VA. In addition, we report incidence of VA tortuosity at V1, V2 to be 76.6% and 32.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The base line data established in this study regarding the diameter, variant origin, and level of entry into the transverse foramen will assist neurosurgeons and interventional radiologists in interpreting, diagnosing, and planning and executing various vascular procedures and treatment of pathology in the vicinity of the VA.

Atypical branching of the musculocutaneous and median nerves with associated unusual innervation of muscles in the anterior compartment of the arm: case report and plea for extension of the current classification system

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Atypical branching of the musculocutaneous and median nerves with associated unusual innervation of muscles in the anterior compartment of the arm: case report and plea for extension of the current classification system Via radiol anat Surg Radiol Anat. 2021 Mar 10. doi: 10.1007/s00276-021-02731-8. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT PURPOSE: Variations of the peripheral nervous system in the upper limb, especially of the musculocutaneous and median nerves, are common, but closer attention to the knowledge of the variant anatomy should be paid to avoid iatrogenic injury or to understand the unusual clinical signs. METHODS: During a routine dissection course, bilateral variations were observed in a Centra l European male cadaver. RESULTS: Variable branching of the musculocutaneous and median nerves associated with atypical innervation of the muscles in the anterior compartment of the arm and other concomitant variations were found bilaterally. In both cases, the musculocutaneous nerve innervated only the coracobrachialis muscle and terminated inside the muscle belly. Branches to the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles arose either directly from the median nerve or its branches. On the right side, two communicating branches between the roots of the median nerve were noted, and a common medial cutaneous trunk originated from the lateral cord. On the left side, a communicating branch extended from the lateral cord to the medial root of the median nerve and a tributary to the axillary vein passed through a window formed by the roots of the median nerve and the communicating branch. CONCLUSION: There exist only few cases in the literature describing similar variations, but t he present arrangement has not yet been reported to the best of our knowledge. With the proposed extension to the existing classification system, we aim to provide clearer orientation in the variability of the musculocutaneous and median nerves.

Relationship between the posterior septal artery and the upper edge of the choana

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Relationship between the posterior septal artery and the upper edge of the choana Via radiol anat Surg Radiol Anat. 2021 Mar 10. doi: 10.1007/s00276-021-02732-7. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The pedicled nasoseptal flap has been a key element in advancing the endoscopic transnasal approach (ETA) for the treatment of skull base lesions from the anterior cranial fossa to the occipitocervical junction. To preserve vascular supply, an anatomical knowledge of the location of the posterior septal artery (PSA) is essential. The objective of this work is to establ ish the relationship between PSA and the superior edge of the choana to define a safety margin during the opening of the sphenoidal rostrum preserving PSA. METHODS: One hundred and eighty angiotomographies of the brain were assessed. The sphenopalatine artery (SPA) was evaluated in the pterygopalatine fossa and PSA at its entrance into the nasal cavity and on the sphenoidal rostrum. RESULTS: PSA was found in all 3 tomographic planes (axial, coronal and sagittal) in 100 patients (200 PSAs). Thirty-five were male and 65 were females. Average age was 62 years with a range of 19-90 years. Total average distance between PSA and the superior edge of the choana was 8.5 mm with a range of 2.5-18 (12.45 90th percentile). CONCLUSION: Although the distance between the choanal edge and PSA is 8.5 mm on average, due to its variability, a distance of at least 12.45 mm for the opening of the sphenoidal sinus in the ETA approach should be considered as a safety margin.
