Atlas of the Facial Nerve and Related Structures Rhoton Yoshioka Atlas of the Facial Nerve Unique Atlas Opens Window and Related Structures Into Facial Nerve Anatomy… Atlas of the Facial Nerve and Related Structures and Related Nerve Facial of the Atlas “His meticulous methods of anatomical dissection and microsurgical techniques helped transform the primitive specialty of neurosurgery into the magnificent surgical discipline that it is today.”— Nobutaka Yoshioka American Association of Neurological Surgeons. Albert L. Rhoton, Jr. Nobutaka Yoshioka, MD, PhD and Albert L. Rhoton, Jr., MD have created an anatomical atlas of astounding precision. An unparalleled teaching tool, this atlas opens a unique window into the anatomical intricacies of complex facial nerves and related structures. An internationally renowned author, educator, brain anatomist, and neurosurgeon, Dr. Rhoton is regarded by colleagues as one of the fathers of modern microscopic neurosurgery. Dr. Yoshioka, an esteemed craniofacial reconstructive surgeon in Japan, mastered this precise dissection technique while undertaking a fellowship at Dr. Rhoton’s microanatomy lab, writing in the preface that within such precision images lies potential for surgical innovation. Special Features • Exquisite color photographs, prepared from carefully dissected latex injected cadavers, reveal anatomy layer by layer with remarkable detail and clarity • An added highlight, 3-D versions of these extraordinary images, are available online in the Thieme MediaCenter • Major sections include intracranial region and skull, upper facial and midfacial region, and lower facial and posterolateral neck region Organized by region, each layered dissection elucidates specific nerves and structures with pinpoint accuracy, providing the clinician with in-depth anatomical insights. Precise clinical explanations accompany each photograph. In tandem, the images and text provide an excellent foundation for understanding the nerves and structures impacted by neurosurgical-related pathologies as well as other conditions and injuries. An exceptionally stunning anatomical reference, this book is a must-have reference for residents and advanced clinicians specializing in neurosurgery, facial plastic surgery, oto- laryngology, maxillofacial surgery, and craniofacial surgery.

Benmoussa1,2 · F. Crampon3,4 · A. Fanous5 · P. Charlier1,6 Received: 5 March 2019 / Accepted: 22 June 2019 / Published online: 28 June 2019 © Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Introduction In the following article, we are presenting a clinical observation of Baron Larrey. In 1804, Larrey was the inspector general of health, as well as the chief surgeon of the imperial Napoleonic Guard. He participated in all of Napoleon’s campaigns. A paleopathological study was performed on a skull from Dupuytren’s Museum (Paris) with a long metal stick in the head. We report here a clinical case as well as the autopsy description of this soldier’s skull following his death. We propose a diferent anatomical analysis of the skull, which allowed us to rectify what we believe to be an anatomical error and to propose varying hypotheses regarding the death of soldier Cros. Materials and methods The skull was examined, observed and described by standard paleopathology methods. Measure- ments of the lesion were performed with metric tools and expressed in centimeters. Historical research was made possible through the collaboration with the Museum of Medicine History-Paris Descartes University. Results Following the above detailed anatomical analysis of the path of the metal rod, we propose various possible lesions in soldier Cros due to the accident. At the inlet, the frontal sinuses could have been damaged.

The morphometry of the angle of mandible and its correlation with age and sex in the eThekwini metropolitan region: A panoramic study. Int. J. Morphol., 35(2):661-666, 2017. SUMMARY: The angle of mandible is formed by the tangent line joining the posterior margin of the ramus and the base of the mandible. The angle of mandible has population-specific characteristics therefore; it is imperative to the field of forensic anthropology for age and sex determination. Literary reports regarding the use of the angle of mandible for age and sex determination vary, as some studies support it, while other studies have documented inefficiencies. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to document the morphometry of the angle of mandible and to determine if a correlation between the angle of mandible, age and sex exists. Sixty four digital panoramic radiographs (n=128) of individuals between 16-30 years were morphometrically analysed using the Dicom Digital Imaging Software. The data was captured and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 23.0). Despite females having a greater angle of mandible than males, no statistically significant correlation was found between the size of the angle of mandible and sex (p=0.088).

Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Baghdad Iraq 2018_1439 Dedication To my parents who were their for me in every step of the way with their have love and support… To my supervisor for his guidance, help and endless support throughout this project… Hadeer Majid Ali Abstract Abstract Background: Mandibular angle plays an important role in ensuring a harmonious facial profile from esthetic point of view so it is a representative of mandible morphology. Resorption of alveolar bone is the best recognized feature of mandibular aging in the edentate subjects and changes of the mandibular cortical shape and thickness may be used as indications to many abnormalities, such as osteoporosis. Panoramic radiographs are a useful tool for the measurement because majority of dentists request an Orthopantomogram for patients during routine dental examination. The Aim of the study: to correlated the gonial angle relation with different dentitional status they are in three group dentulous, partial dentulous and edentulous using digital panoramic imaging system with age, gender and dental status. Subjects, Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 30 Iraqi in three group dentulous , partial dentulous and edentulous attending to the digital panoramic clinic of the hospital of college of dentistry university of Baghdad Information from each subject was recorded in a special case sheet.

  • Nerves of the Orbit Optic Nerve the Optic Nerve Enters the Orbit from the Middle Cranial Fossa by Passing Through the Optic Canal
    human anatomy 2016 lecture fourteen Dr meethak ali ahmed neurosurgeon Nerves of the Orbit Optic Nerve The optic nerve enters the orbit from the middle cranial fossa by passing through the optic canal . It is accompanied by the ophthalmic artery, which lies on its lower lateral side. The nerve is surrounded by sheath of pia mater, arachnoid mater, and dura mater. It runs forward and laterally within the cone of the recti muscles and pierces the sclera at a point medial to the posterior pole of the eyeball. Here, the meninges fuse with the sclera so that the subarachnoid space with its contained cerebrospinal fluid extends forward from the middle cranial fossa, around the optic nerve, and through the optic canal, as far as the eyeball. A rise in pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid within the cranial cavity therefore is transmitted to theback of the eyeball. Lacrimal Nerve The lacrimal nerve arises from the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. It enters the orbit through the upper part of the superior orbital fissure and passes forward along the upper border of the lateral rectus muscle . It is joined by a branch of the zygomaticotemporal nerve, whi(parasympathetic secretomotor fibers). The lacrimal nerve ends by supplying the skin of the lateral part of the upper lid. Frontal Nerve The frontal nerve arises from the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. It enters the orbit through the upper part of the superior orbital fissure and passes forward on the upper surface of the levator palpebrae superioris beneath the roof of the orbit .

  • Maxillary Nerve-Mediated Postseptoplasty Nasal Allodynia: a Case Report
    E CASE REPORT Maxillary Nerve-Mediated Postseptoplasty Nasal Allodynia: A Case Report Shikha Sharma, MD, PhD,* Wilson Ly, MD, PharmD,* and Xiaobing Yu, MD*† Endoscopic nasal septoplasty is a commonly performed otolaryngology procedure, not known to cause persistent postsurgical pain or hypersensitivity. Here, we discuss a unique case of persis- tent nasal pain that developed after a primary endoscopic septoplasty, which then progressed to marked mechanical and thermal allodynia following a revision septoplasty. Pain symptoms were found to be mediated by the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve and resolved after percuta- neous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of bilateral maxillary nerves.

Here, we would like to introduce simple ways to find the CG by 1): tracing the sensory and parasympathetic roots to find the CG from the superior direction above the orbit, 2): transecting and retracting the lateral rectus muscle to visualize the CG from the lateral direction of the orbit, and 3): taking out whole orbital structures first and dissecting to observe the CG. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed from the standpoint of decreased laboratory time and students as beginners at orbital anatomy. Introduction dissection course for the first time and with limited time. In addition, there are few clear pictures in anatomical The ciliary ganglion (CG) is one of the four para- textbooks showing the morphology of the CG. There are sympathetic ganglia in the head and neck region located some scientific articles concerning how to visualize the behind the eyeball between the optic nerve and the lateral CG, but they are mostly based on the clinical approaches rectus muscle in the apex of the orbit (Siessere et al., rather than based on the anatomical procedure for medical 2008).

  • The Mandibular Nerve - Vc Or VIII by Prof
    The Mandibular Nerve - Vc or VIII by Prof. Dr. Imran Qureshi The Mandibular nerve is the third and largest division of the trigeminal nerve. It is a mixed nerve. Its sensory root emerges from the posterior region of the semilunar ganglion and is joined by the motor root of the trigeminal nerve. These two nerve bundles leave the cranial cavity through the foramen ovale and unite immediately to form the trunk of the mixed mandibular nerve that passes into the infratemporal fossa. Here, it runs anterior to the middle meningeal artery and is sandwiched between the superior head of the lateral pterygoid and tensor veli palatini muscles. After a short course during which a meningeal branch to the dura mater, and the nerve to part of the medial pterygoid muscle (and the tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini muscles) are given off, the mandibular trunk divides into a smaller anterior and a larger posterior division. The anterior division receives most of the fibres from the motor root and distributes them to the other muscles of mastication i.e. the lateral pterygoid, medial pterygoid, temporalis and masseter muscles. The nerve to masseter and two deep temporal nerves (anterior and posterior) pass laterally above the medial pterygoid. The nerve to the masseter continues outward through the mandibular notch, while the deep temporal nerves turn upward deep to temporalis for its supply. The sensory fibres that it receives are distributed as the buccal nerve. The 1 | P a g e buccal nerve passes between the medial and lateral pterygoids and passes downward and forward to emerge from under cover of the masseter with the buccal artery.

  • Surgical Anatomy of the Juxtadural Ring Area
    Surgical anatomy of the juxtadural ring area Susumu Oikawa, M.D., Kazuhiko Kyoshima, M.D., and Shigeaki Kobayashi, M.D. Department of Neurosurgery, Shinshu University School of Medicine, Matsumoto, Japan Object. The authors report on the surgical anatomy of the juxtadural ring area of the internal carotid artery to add to the information available about this important structure. Methods. Twenty sides of cadaver specimens were used in this study. The plane of the dural ring was found to incline in the posteromedial direction. Medial inclination was measured at 21.8š on average against the horizontal line in the anteroposterior view on radiographic studies. Posterior inclination was measured at 20.3š against the planum sphenoidale in the lateral projection, and the medial edge of the dural ring was located 0.4 mm above the tuberculum sellae in the same projection. The lateral edge of the tuberculum sellae was located 1.4 mm below the superior border of the anterior clinoid process. The carotid cave was situated at the medial or posteromedial aspect of the dural ring; however, two of the 20 specimens showed no cave formation. The carotid cave contained the subarachnoid space in 13 sides, the arachnoid membrane only in three sides, and the extraarachnoid space in two sides. The authors propose that the marker of the medial side of the dural ring, which is more proximal than the lateral, is the tuberculum sellae in the lateral view on radiographic studies. In the medial aspect of the dural ring the intradural space can be situated below the level of the tuberculum sellae because of the existence of the carotid cave.
