Visualization of hyaloid artery in this canal with color Doppler imaging is almost pathognomonic. A 3-month-old male infant presented with a unilateral leucocoria.

This capsule in applied to the eye ball from attachment it the corneoscleral junction and the optic never. The eye ball is supported by the muscle sheaths termed the check ligaments that pass to the orbital walls. The eye ball is composed of two different sized. spheres. The transparent anterior segment and the opaque . posterior segment. The optic axis is a line, joining the anterior pole with posterior pole. The normal axial length of the eye is 24mm. The eye consist of three primary layers — sclera, choroid and retina. Orbit is bony cavity whose stalk is the optic nerve passing through the optic canal. The orbits are directed backwards, slightly upwards and in wards to their apices. The lacrimal gland fossa is situated anterolaterally. The orbit contains the eye ball, the nerve which innervate it, including the optic nerve in its bed fat, the extrinsic muscles which move it, and the nerves and vessels which 1 supply them. The optic nerve and ocular muscles pass anterolaterally from the apex of the orbit to (their ocular attachment. (Satish K – 2010 2 Low vision is defined as visual acuity of less than 6/18.

Burdan1, 2, W. Dworzański1, M. Cendrowska-Pinkosz1, M. Burdan1, A. Dworzańska2 1Human Anatomy Department, Medical University of Lublin, Poland 2St. John Cancer Centre, Lublin, Poland [Received: 29 July 2015; Accepted: 21 December 2015] Uniform international terminology is a fundamental issue of medicine. Names of various organs or structures have developed since early human history. The first proper anatomical books were written by Hippocrates, Aristotle and Galen. For this reason the modern terms originated from Latin or Greek. In a modern time the ter- minology was improved in particular by Vasalius, Fabricius and Harvey. Presently each known structure has internationally approved term that is explained in anatomical or histological terminology. However, some elements received eponyms, terms that incorporate the surname of the people that usually describe them for the first time or studied them (e.g., circle of Willis, follicle of Graff, fossa of Sylvious, foramen of Monro, Adamkiewicz artery). Literature and historical hero also influenced medical vocabulary (e.g. Achilles tendon and Atlas). According to various scientists, all the eponyms bring colour to medicine, embed medical traditions and culture to our history but lack accuracy, lead of confusion, and hamper scientific discussion. The current article presents a wide list of the anatomical eponyms with their proper anatomical term or description according to international anatomical terminology.
