A Case of the Bilateral Superior Venae Cavae with Some Other Anomalous Veins Okaiimas Fol. anat. jap., 48: 413-426, 1972 A Case of the Bilateral Superior Venae Cavae With Some Other Anomalous Veins By Yasumichi Fujimoto, Hitoshi Okuda and Mihoko Yamamoto Department of Anatomy, Osaka Dental University, Osaka (Director : Prof. Y. Ohta) With 8 Figures in 2 Plates and 2 Tables -Received for Publication, July 24, 1971- A case of the so-called bilateral superior venae cavae after the persistence of the left superior vena cava has appeared relatively frequent. The present authors would like to make a report on such a persistence of the left superior vena cava, which was found in a routine dissection cadaver of their school. This case is accompanied by other anomalies on the venous system ; a complete pair of the azygos veins, the double subclavian veins of the right side and the ring-formation in the left external iliac vein. Findings Cadaver : Mediiim nourished male (Japanese), about 157 cm in stature. No other anomaly in the heart as well as in the great arteries is recognized. The extracted heart is about 350 gm in weight and about 380 ml in volume. A. Bilateral superior venae cavae 1) Right superior vena cava (figs. 1, 2, 4) It measures about 23 mm in width at origin, about 25 mm at the pericardiac end, and about 31 mm at the opening to the right atrium ; about 55 mm in length up to the pericardium and about 80 mm to the opening. The vein is formed in the usual way by the union of the right This report was announced at the forty-sixth meeting of Kinki-district of the Japanese Association of Anatomists, February, 1971,Kyoto. 413 414 Y. Fujimoto,H. Okudaand M. Yamamoto internal jugular and the two subclavian veins, and passes downward, attached to the right phrenic nerve anterolaterally and the vagus nerve posteromedially, up to the right atrium. It en route receives the following veins :—Into the anterior wall the right internal thoracic (ca. 9 mm in width), the inferior thyroid (ca. 2.3 mm) and the right pericardiacophrenic (ca. 3.8 mm) ; into the medial wall the thymic (two in number, ca. 6 mm and 1.5 mm) ; into the posterior wall the right vertebral (ca. 11 mm) and the right azygos veins (ca. 15.7 mm). 2) Left superior vena cava (figs. 1, 2, 3, 4) It measures about 23 mm in width at the origin, about 25 mm at the pericardiac end, about 32 mm at the opening to the coronary sinus ; about 58 mm in length up to the pericardium and about 118 mm to the sinus. This vessel, formed by the union of the left internal jugular and the subclavian veins, descends, crossing in front of the aortic arch, then pierces the pericardium in front of the left pulmo- nary artery, and reaches the back of the heart passing between the left auricle and the left upper pulmonary vein. Distal to the piercing, the vessel is attached to the left phrenic nerve anterolaterally and the vagus nerve posteromedially. Then it obliquely passes over the surface of the left atrium and bends along the coronary sulcus. It transfers to the coronary sinus receiving the great cardiac vein, and finally continues rightward for the opening into the right atrium. This vessel is the same in width as the right corresponding vessel before piercing the pericardium, then gradually grows larger. It en route gathers the left internal thoracic (ca. 6 mm) and the left pericardiacophrenic (ca. 1.5 mm) into its anterior wall, the Rr. mediastinales (ca. 1.5 mm) into its medial wall, and the left vertebral (ca. 9 mm) and the left azygos veins (ca. 9 mm) into its posterior wall. No anastomotic branch is observed between the right and left superior venae cavae. 3) Coronary sinus (figs. 3, 4) The sinus is the continuation of the left superior vena cava. It becomes dilated in the shape of a wide spindle (ca. 32 mm in width, ca. 40 mm in length). The great cardiac vein (ca. 6 mm in width) ascends in the anterior interventricular sulcus and turns rightward in the coronary sulcus being covered with the left auricle, parallel with the left superior vena cava, then finally enters the sinus at about 36 mm from its right lower end, where the vessel has a bicuspid valve. The middle cardiac vein (ca. 8 mm) has a monocuspid valve. The posterior veins of the left ventricle are fine, four in number. The sinus which receives the above-mentioned branches flows into the right atrium A Case of the Bilateral Superior Venae Cavae 415 in contact with the orifice of the inferior vena cava (fig. 4). 4) Interior of the right atrium (fig. 5) The attitude of the openings of the right superior and inferior venae cavae follows the usual way. The foramen ovale is completely closed. The opening of the coronary sinus is oval (ca. 28 x 18 mm), and is protected by the valvula of the sinus which adheres to the anterior end of the valvula of the inferior vena cava and makes a _ small sac (ca. 7 mm in depth) between both valvulae. B. The azygos veins (figs. 4, 6) This venous system is made up of bilaterally symmetrical azygos veins, though the left fellow (ca. 9 mm in width) is thinner than the right one (ca. 15 mm). The vein of each side from the ascending lumbar vein runs upward on the anterolateral surface of the thoracic column after piercing the diaphragm, then arches forward in the height of Th IV. The vein passes above the pulmonary root to flow into the superior vena cava of the respective side just before it pierces the pericardium. The opening of the left azygos is slightly lower than the right one. The tributaries of the veins are almost same on both sides. The second and third (second to fourth on left side) posterior . intercostal veins are drained by a common stem, the superior intercostal vein, then flow into the upper end of the azygos. The fourth to eleventh (fifth to eleventh on left side) posterior inter- costal and the subcostal veins directly open into the azygos. The first posterior intercostal vein follows the supreme intercostal vein which drains into the vertebral vein, and communicates with the second posterior intercostal vein. No communication is observed be- tween the azygos veins of both sides. C. Right double subclavian veins (figs. 1, 2, 4, 7) The veins (ca. 33 mm in length) in this case consist of two chan- nels, anterior (ca. 30 mm in width) and posterior (ca. 10 mm). They, holding the M. subclavius between them, drain into the right internal jugular vein ; the anterior channel into the lateral wall of the lower end of the internal jugular and the posterior channel into it in con- tact with the anterior channel inferoposteriorly. (a) Veins joining the anterior channel i) External jugular vein : It (ca. 5 mm) begins by the confluence of the posterior auricular and the occipital veins, and enters the superior wall of the middle of the channel. It is provided with two bicuspid valves both at lower end and in the middle. ii) Anterior jugular vein (ca. 3.5 mm), anteromedial to the join- ing of the external jugular. 416 Y. Fujimoto, H. Okuda and M. Yamamoto iii) Thoracoacromial vein (ca. 5 mm), lateral to the external jugular. iv) Vv. pectrales (ca. 1 mm). v) A confluence (ca. 4 mm) of the transverse cervical and the suprascapular veins, near the termination of the anterior channel. Besides the right lymphatic duct joins the confluence. vi) Corresponding vein (ca. 2 mm) of the ascending cervical artery, at the right venous angle. (b) Veins joining the posterior channel Only the dorsal scapular vein (ca. 1 mm) unites with the con- fluence of the transverse cervical and suprascapular veins. The left subclavian vein is single and not noteworthy. D. Left external iliac vein (figs. 6, 8) The vein divides into two channels, lateral and medial, just before joining the left internal iliac, so a ring-formation (ca. 20 mm in length) is observed. The lateral channel (ca. 5 mm in width and 9 mm in length) receives the iliolumbar vein communicating with the ascending lumbar into the superolateral wall. The medial one (ca. 11 mm in width and 13 mm in length) does not receive any vein. Both channels hold the iliolumbar artery from the internal iliac between them. Discussion The present report was the second case of the bilateral superior venae cavae found in the cadavers which have been dissected at this university. The latest case of the bilateral superior venae cavae in Japan was reported by Chiba et al. (1971). Hitherto in Japan 45 cases have been reported ; 43 Japanese, 1 Chinese and 1 Formosan. Of them, adults who died at ages over 16 years numbered only 26. On the other hand in Europe and America 216 cases were reported by 1946 (Sanders 1946). On the frequency of the bilateral superior venae cavae have been described by many authors as follows ; Adachi (1933) 4 in 821 cases (0.5%), Mukai (1934) 1 in 679 cases, Yamada (1934) 2 in 125 cases (fetuses and newborns), Sanders about once per 348 cadavers. The bilateral superior venae cavae have been classified by Mc- Cotter (1915), Donadio (1925), McManus (1941), Nandy et al. (1965), and Yamadori et al. (1966) etc. ; it was considered that the classifi- cation made by Yamadori et al. might be considerably adequate.

  • Corona Mortis: the Abnormal Obturator Vessels in Filipino Cadavers
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Corona Mortis: the Abnormal Obturator Vessels in Filipino Cadavers Imelda A. Luna Department of Anatomy, College of Medicine, University of the Philippines Manila ABSTRACT Objectives. This is a descriptive study to determine the origin of abnormal obturator arteries, the drainage of abnormal obturator veins, and if any anastomoses exist between these abnormal vessels in Filipino cadavers. Methods. A total of 54 cadaver halves, 50 dissected by UP medical students and 4 by UP Dentistry students were included in this survey. Results. Results showed the abnormal obturator arteries arising from the inferior epigastric arteries in 7 halves (12.96%) and the abnormal communicating veins draining into the inferior epigastric or external iliac veins in 16 (29.62%). There were also arterial anastomoses in 5 (9.25%) with the inferior epigastric artery, and venous anastomoses in 16 (29.62%) with the inferior epigastric or external iliac veins. Bilateral abnormalities were noted in a total 6 cadavers, 3 with both arterial and venous, and the remaining 3 with only venous anastomoses. Conclusion. It is important to be aware of the presence of these abnormalities that if found during surgery, must first be ligated to avoid intraoperative bleeding complications. Key Words: obturator vessels, abnormal, corona mortis INtroDUCTION The main artery to the pelvic region is the internal iliac artery (IIA) with two exceptions: the ovarian/testicular artery arises directly from the aorta and the superior rectal artery from the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). The internal iliac or hypogastric artery is one of the most variable arterial systems of the human body, its parietal branches, particularly the obturator artery (OBA) accounts for most of its variability.

Of the 75 veins in these 14 hearts, 55 emptied into the right atrium and 20 into the left atrium. These veins were not accompanied by nerves, in contrast to tributaries of the great cardiac vein, and were negative for both smooth muscle actin (SMA) and CD34. However, the epithelium and venous wall of the anterior cardiac vein, the thickest of the direct draining veins, were strongly positive for SMA and CD34, respectively. In general, developing fibres in the vascular wall were positive for CD34, while the endothelium of the arteries and veins was strongly positive for the present DAKO antibody of SMA.

  • Split Azygos Vein: a Case Report
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.13362 Split Azygos Vein: A Case Report Stefan Lachkar 1 , Joe Iwanaga 2 , Emma Newton 2 , Aaron S. Dumont 2 , R. Shane Tubbs 2 1. Anatomy, Seattle Chirdren's, Seattle, USA 2. Neurosurgery, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, USA Corresponding author: Joe Iwanaga, [email protected] Abstract The azygos venous system, which comprises the azygos, hemiazygos, and accessory hemiazygos veins, assists in blood drainage into the superior vena cava (SVC) from the thoracic cage and portions of the posterior mediastinum. Routine dissection of a fresh-frozen cadaveric specimen revealed a split azygos vein. The azygos vein branched off the inferior vena cava (IVC) at the level of the second lumbar vertebra as a single trunk and then split into two tributaries after forming a venous plexus. The right side of this system drained into the SVC and, inferiorly, the collective system drained into the IVC. Variant forms in the venous system, especially the vena cavae, are prone to dilation and tortuosity, leading to an increased likelihood of injury. Knowledge of the anatomical variations of the azygos vein is important for surgeons who use an anterior approach to the spine for diverse procedures. Categories: Anatomy Keywords: inferior vena cava, embryology, azygos vein, variation, anatomy, cadaver Introduction The inferior vena cava (IVC) is the largest vein in the human body. Its principal function is to return venous blood from the abdomen and lower extremities to the right atrium of the heart [1]. Developmental patterning of the IVC consists of three paired embryonic veins: subcardinal, supracardinal, and postcardinal.

Cell phone: +254 720 915 805 or +254 736 791 617 ABSTRACT Variant anatomy of the external jugular vein is important when performing invasive procedures in the neck. Although there are a number of case reports on some of these variations, there are few descriptive cross-sectional regarding the same. This study therefore aimed at describing the variant anatomy of the external jugular vein as seen in a sample Kenyan population. One hundred and six (106) sides of the neck from 53 cadaveric specimens (70 males and 36 females) in the Department of Human Anatomy, University of Nairobi, Kenya, were used. Pattern and level of formation, course, communications and termination were studied by dissection. The vein was absent in 14.2% of cases, all males. It was formed within the substance of the parotid gland in 44%, and did not receive posterior auricular vein in 6.6%. Variant communications noted included facial vein, internal jugular, and a presence of a large anastomotic vein connecting it to the anterior jugular. It was duplicated in 2.2% cases and terminated into internal jugular vein in 7.7% of cases. The most common variations were in origin, course, communications and termination. These may limit its clinical utilization, and their awareness is important when considering the vein for any invasive procedure.

  • Blood Vessels
    BLOOD VESSELS Blood vessels are how blood travels through the body. Whole blood is a fluid made up of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and plasma. It supplies the body with oxygen. SUPERIOR AORTA (AORTIC ARCH) VEINS & VENA CAVA ARTERIES There are two basic types of blood vessels: veins and arteries. Veins carry blood back to the heart and arteries carry blood from the heart out to the rest of the body. Factoid! The smallest blood vessel is five micrometers wide. To put into perspective how small that is, a strand of hair is 17 micrometers wide! 2 BASIC (ARTERY) BLOOD VESSEL TUNICA EXTERNA TUNICA MEDIA (ELASTIC MEMBRANE) STRUCTURE TUNICA MEDIA (SMOOTH MUSCLE) Blood vessels have walls composed of TUNICA INTIMA three layers. (SUBENDOTHELIAL LAYER) The tunica externa is the outermost layer, primarily composed of stretchy collagen fibers. It also contains nerves. The tunica media is the middle layer. It contains smooth muscle and elastic fiber. TUNICA INTIMA (ELASTIC The tunica intima is the innermost layer. MEMBRANE) It contains endothelial cells, which TUNICA INTIMA manage substances passing in and out (ENDOTHELIUM) of the bloodstream. 3 VEINS Blood carries CO2 and waste into venules (super tiny veins). The venules empty into larger veins and these eventually empty into the heart. The walls of veins are not as thick as those of arteries. Some veins have flaps of tissue called valves in order to prevent backflow. Factoid! Valves are found mainly in veins of the limbs where gravity and blood pressure VALVE combine to make venous return more 4 difficult.

  • What Is the History of the Term “Azygos Vein” in the Anatomical Terminology?
    Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy (2019) 41:1155–1162 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00276-019-02238-3 REVIEW What is the history of the term “azygos vein” in the anatomical terminology? George K. Paraskevas1 · Konstantinos N. Koutsoufianiotis1 · Michail Patsikas2 · George Noussios1 Received: 5 December 2018 / Accepted: 2 April 2019 / Published online: 26 April 2019 © Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract The term “azygos vein” is in common use in modern anatomical and cardiovascular textbooks to describe the vein which ascends to the right side of the vertebral column in the region of the posterior mediastinum draining into the superior vena cava. “Azygos” in Greek means “without a pair”, explaining the lack of a similar vein on the left side of the vertebral column in the region of the thorax. The term “azygos” vein was utilized frstly by Galen and then was regenerated during Sylvius’ dissections and Vesalius’ anatomical research, where it received its fnal concept as an ofcial anatomical term. The purpose of this study is to highlight the origin of the term “azygos vein” to the best of our knowledge for the frst time and its evolu- tion from the era of Hippocrates to Realdo Colombo. Keywords Anatomy · “azygos vein” · “sine pari vena” · Terminology · Vesalius Introduction History of the origin of the term “azygos vein” The term “azygos vein” can be found in all modern ana- tomical textbooks. The term is used to describe a vein that Hippocrates (Fig. 1) did not make any mention with regard ascends on the right side of the vertebral column in the to the azygos vein.

A single posterior & .Two anterior intercostal arteries •Each artery gives off branches to the muscles, skin, parietal pleura Posterior Intercostal Arteries In the upper two spaces, arise from the superior intercostal artery (a branch of costocervical trunk of the subclavian artery) In the lower nine spaces, arise from the branches of thoracic aorta The course and branching of the intercostal arteries follow the intercostal Posterior intercostal artery Course of intercostal vessels in the posterior thoracic wall Anterior Intercostal Arteries In the upper six spaces, arise from the internal thoracic artery In the lower three spaces arise from the musculophrenic artery (one of the terminal branch of internal thoracic) Form anastomosis with the posterior intercostal arteries Intercostal Veins Accompany intercostal arteries and nerves Each space has posterior & anterior intercostal veins Eleven posterior intercostal and one subcostal vein Lie deepest in the costal grooves Contain valves which direct the blood posteriorly Posterior Intercostal Veins On right side: • The first space drains into the right brachiocephalic vein • Rest of the intercostal spaces drain into the azygos vein On left side: • The upper three spaces drain into the left brachiocephalic vein. • Rest of the intercostal spaces drain into the hemiazygos and accessory hemiazygos veins, which drain into the azygos vein Anterior Intercostal Veins • The lower five spaces drain into the musculophrenic vein (one of the tributary of internal thoracic vein) • The upper six spaces drain into the internal thoracic vein • The internal thoracic vein drains into the subclavian vein. Lymphatics • Anteriorly drain into anterior intercostal nodes that lie along the internal thoracic artery • Posterioly drain into posterior intercostal nodes that lie in the posterior mediastinum .
