The lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) is commonly a branch of the deep femoral artery (DFA) or sometimes of the femoral artery (FA) and passes between divisions of the femoral nerve posterior to the sartorius and rectus femoris muscles. After passing behind these structures, it divides into its ascending, transverse and descending branches...

The median aperture of Magendie is the largest of three openings of the fourth ventricle and thus it forms the main path for the outflow of the cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricle. The Magendie aperture connects the fourth ventricle with the cisterna magna and makes a natural corridor for neurosurgical approach and inspection of the ventricle and its floor...

Fractures of the distal tibia are usually high-energy injuries and are well known for their soft tissue complications after surgery. Various factors have been studied regarding the possibility of them reducing the incidence of such damage, including timing of surgery, staged surgery, fixation method, and surgical approach. Less invasive surgical techniques with vascularity preserving approaches were proposed as reasonable solutions to this problem...

Although racial and ethnic variations in the morphology of anatomical structures are defined well, the size, shape, and weight of the thyroid gland have not previously been reported in Turkish people. This study provides data about the morphometric features of the thyroid gland, thyroid lobes, and pyramidal lobe, and highlights some anatomical variations in people from the Marmara region in Turkey...

Postępy w zakresie neurologii i neuroradiologii wpływają na poprawę jakości diagnostyki i leczenia chorób naczyniowych ośrodkowego układu nerwowego. Ten dynamiczny rozwój wymusza konieczność prowadzenia ciągłych badań w zakresie anatomii i fizjologii układu naczyniowego mózgowia...

Vascular variations regarding the branching pattern of the aorta are important in different laparoscopic surgeries, liver and kidney transplantation, oncologic resections, and various interventional radiological procedures in the abdominal region...

Although the septomarginal trabecula is a well-known anatomical structure, there continue to be different ways of studying it. In this study, we dissected the muscle bundles that form it, and this has enabled us to present a new classification based on the origin, path, and termination of these bundles...

The saphenous flap is a fasciocutaneous flap generally used for knee and upper

third of the leg coverage. Due to various descriptions of the saphenous

flap, such as venous, sensory, and free flap, the origin and distributing characteristics

of the saphenous artery are important for plastic surgeons.

The human paracentral lobule (PCL), the convolution at the medial hemispheric surface, connects medial portions of the precentral and postcentral gyri. In Terminologia Anatomica the term PCL (lobulus paracentralis) was used twice and separately in order to indicate the anterior and posterior paracentral gyri [5]...

Major organ systems of vertebrates are structurally and functionally distinct on the left and right sides despite orderly symmetries of the exterior [14]. Interestingly, asymmetry in lacrimal flow is known to occur in females more than males [5]. Consequently, as a result of this disparity in function we tested the hypothesis that the normal lacrimal drainage system (LDS) might show subtle left-right asymmetry in its anatomy and morphometry when imaged on digital subtracted dacryocystography (DS-DCG)...
