  • Selecting Different Approaches for Palate and Pharynx Surgery
    SPECIAL ISSUE 4: INVITED ARTICLE Selecting Different Approaches for Palate and Pharynx Surgery: Palatopharyngeal Arch Staging System Rodolfo Lugo-Saldaña1 , Karina Saldívar-Ponce2 , Irina González-Sáez3 , Daniela Hernández-Sirit4 , Patricia Mireles-García5 ABSTRACT The examination of the anatomical structures involved in the upper airway collapse in patients with the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a key for integrated evaluation of patients. Our proposal is for a noninvasive classification system that guides us about the presence of anatomical differences between the palatopharyngeal muscle (PFM). The functions of the PFM are narrowing the isthmus, descending the palate, and raising the larynx during swallowing; these characteristics give the PFM a special role in the collapse of the lateral pharyngeal wall. Complete knowledge of the anatomy and classification of different variants can guide us to choose the appropriate surgical procedures for the lateral wall collapse. Until now there is not a consensus about description of the trajectory or anatomical variants of the PFM into oropharynx, the distance between both muscles, and the muscle tone. Here we also present the relationship between the lateral wall surgeries currently available (lateral pharyngoplasty by Cahali, expansion sphincteroplasty by Pang, relocation pharyngoplasty by Li, Roman blinds pharyngoplasty by Mantovani, and barbed sutures pharyngoplasty by Vicini) with the proposed classification of the palatopharyngeal arch staging system (PASS).

  • The Muscular System Views
    1 PRE-LAB EXERCISES Before coming to lab, get familiar with a few muscle groups we’ll be exploring during lab. Using Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas, go to the Views section. Under Systems, scroll down to the Muscular System views. Select the view Expression and find the following muscles. When you select a muscle, note the book icon in the content box. Selecting this icon allows you to read the muscle’s definition. 1. Occipitofrontalis (epicranius) 2. Orbicularis oculi 3. Orbicularis oris 4. Nasalis 5. Zygomaticus major Return to Muscular System views, select the view Head Rotation and find the following muscles. 1. Sternocleidomastoid 2. Scalene group (anterior, middle, posterior) 2 IN-LAB EXERCISES Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the head and neck region of the muscular system. As you explore the modules, locate the muscles on any charts, models, or specimen available. Please note that these muscles act on the head and neck – those that are located in the neck but act on the back are in a separate section. When reviewing the action of a muscle, it will be helpful to think about where the muscle is located and where the insertion is. Muscle physiology requires that a muscle will “pull” instead of “push” during contraction, and the insertion is the part that will move. Imagine that the muscle is “pulling” on the bone or tissue it is attached to at the insertion. Access 3D views and animated muscle actions in Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas, which will be especially helpful to visualize muscle actions.

Rodella Section of Anatomy and Physiopathology, Department of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, University of Brescia, Brescia, Italy [Received: 1 June 2016; Accepted: 18 July 2016] Background: Additional extrinsic muscles of the tongue are reported in literature and one of them is the myloglossus muscle (MGM). Since MGM is nowadays considered as anatomical variant, the aim of this study is to clarify some open questions by evaluating and describing the myloglossal anatomy (including both MGM and its ligamentous counterpart) during human cadaver dissections. Materials and methods: Twenty-one regions (including masticator space, sublin- gual space and adjacent areas) were dissected and the presence and appearance of myloglossus were considered, together with its proximal and distal insertions, vascularisation and innervation. Results: The myloglossus was present in 61.9% of cases with muscular, ligamen- tous or mixed appearance and either bony or muscular insertion. Facial artery pro- vided myloglossal vascularisation in the 84.62% and lingual artery in the 15.38%; innervation was granted by the trigeminal system (buccal nerve and mylohyoid nerve), sometimes (46.15%) with hypoglossal component. Conclusions: These data suggest us to not consider myloglossus as a rare ana- tomical variant.

  • The Ophthalmic Artery Ii
    Brit. J. Ophthal. (1962) 46, 165. THE OPHTHALMIC ARTERY II. INTRA-ORBITAL COURSE* BY SOHAN SINGH HAYREHt AND RAMJI DASS Government Medical College, Patiala, India Material THIS study was carried out in 61 human orbits obtained from 38 dissection- room cadavers. In 23 cadavers both the orbits were examined, and in the remaining fifteen only one side was studied. With the exception of three cadavers of children aged 4, 11, and 12 years, the specimens were from old persons. Method Neoprene latex was injected in situ, either through the internal carotid artery or through the most proximal part of the ophthalmic artery, after opening the skull and removing the brain. The artery was first irrigated with water. After injection the part was covered with cotton wool soaked in 10 per cent. formalin for from 24 to 48 hours to coagulate the latex. The roof of the orbit was then opened and the ophthalmic artery was carefully studied within the orbit. Observations COURSE For descriptive purposes the intra-orbital course of the ophthalmic artery has been divided into three parts (Singh and Dass, 1960). (1) The first part extends from the point of entrance of the ophthalmic artery into the orbit to the point where the artery bends to become the second part. This part usually runs along the infero-lateral aspect of the optic nerve. (2) The second part crosses over or under the optic nerve running in a medial direction from the infero-lateral to the supero-medial aspect of the nerve. (3) The thirdpart extends from the point at which the second part bends at the supero-medial aspect of the optic nerve to its termination.
