A sound knowledge of anatomical variations that could be encountered during surgical procedures is helpful in avoiding surgical complications. The current article details anomalous morphology of inferior alveolar nerves encountered during routine dissection of the craniofacial region in the Gross Anatomy laboratory. We also report variations of the lingual nerves, associated with the inferior alveolar nerves. The variations were documented and a thorough review of literature was carried out. We focus on the variations themselves, and the clinical implications that these variations present. Thorough understanding of variant anatomy of the lingual and inferior alveolar nerves may determine the success of procedural anesthesia, the etiology of pathologic processes, and the avoidance of surgical misadventure.

AbstractA knowledge of variant anatomy is important in clinical practice. The skull bones have several normal anatomical variations, especially in the occipital bone. Accessory sutures have been described in newborns and young children.In this study, we discussed radiological findings of an accessory occipital suture in a 14-year-old child who had presented with mastoiditis and brain abscess. We further describe this “mendosal suture,” and its pathophysiology and clinical implications. It is important to bear this entity in mind to avoid misdiagnosing this as a fracture. The use of CT scans and 3D CT using volume rendering technique (VRT) helps in detection and correct diagnosis.

The distribution pattern of internal iliac artery (IIA) implies its bifurcation to two branches, the anterior and the posterior trunks. According to previous research, IIA indicates several anatomical variations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the types of these variations. The presence of these variations in the arteries is an important topic to urologists, gynecologists, radiologists, and general surgeons because they can be ruptured during surgical procedures in the perineal and pelvis region. Three databases were searched for the period from 1810 to January 2018 and a total of 75 studies were investigated. This study evaluated the branching of the internal iliac artery in several literatures and compared it with Adachi's classification. This finding can lead to improve surgical technique and safety in medical practice.

Las anomalías y variaciones anatómicas del tronco braquiocefálico (TBC) pueden tener importantes implicancias en la práctica médica, en especial en la interpretación de estudios de diagnóstico por imágenes, en procedimientos quirúrgicos torácicos y cervicales, e incluso pueden ser incompatibles con la vida. Nuestro objetivo es realizar una revisión que permita considerar las variaciones anatómicas del TBC y sus manifestaciones clínicas a partir de la bibliográfica relacionada a hallazgos anatómicos y estudios clínicos. Realizamos una extensa búsqueda bibliográfica y sintetizamos los resultados obtenidos considerando las anomalías en el origen, el recorrido y la distribución del TBC. Acompañamos la información anatómica con los datos correspondientes a las manifestaciones clínicas que presentaron y algunos procedimientos terapéuticos que se encuentran descriptos en la literatura.Knowledge of anatomical anomalies and variations on the brachiocephalic trunk is important in medical practice, mainly for the interpretation of diagnostic images, in surgical procedures of thorax and neck, and may also be of high risk for life. Our objective was to perform a review to consider the anatomical variations of the brachiocephalic trunk and the clinical expressions published in the literature, most of them as eventual findings. We carried on a wide literature research and summarized the results considering the anomalies at the origin, in the way and in the braching of the brachiocephalic trunk. The anatomical information was associated to the clinical aspects presented in the published papers and some therapeutic procedures described in the literature.

The sacral hiatus is a gap on the dorsal surface of the sacrum formed by the non-fusion of the lamina of the fourth and fifth sacral vertebrae. A multitude of anatomical alternations of hiatus have been reported involving metric and non-metric parameters. These have been identified during radiological investigations, surgical procedures or discovered in anatomical and anthropological research studies. For successful outcomes in the clinical setting, it is vital that awareness of identified and newly discovered anatomical variations is achieved through review of literature. Objective of this article is to provide a systematic review of the reported anatomical variations of sacral hiatus with its clinical significance.

Abstract​ Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI) is a serious complication of LC and has an incidence of 0.3 to 0.7%. Since it is associated with a significant and potentially lifelong morbidity as well as mortality, diagnosing IBDI as early as possible is of paramount importance. Management of bile duct injuries and prognosis of their surgical repair depend on the timing of its recognition, type and the extent of the injury. In this paper, we present a case of IBDI and attempt to discuss all its dimensions.
