  • Relation of Macular and Other Holes to the Insertion of the Inferior Oblique
    Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.47.2.90 on 1 February 1963. Downloaded from Brit. J. Ophthal. (1963) 47, 90. RELATION OF MACULAR AND OTHER HOLES TO THE INSERTION OF THE INFERIOR OBLIQUE* WITH A NOTE ON THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE POSTERIOR SURFACE OF THE GLOBE BY ANWAR EL MASSRI Faculty ofMedicine, Ein-Shams University, Cairo THE macular region, like the peripheral retina, is liable to cystic degeneration, especially in high myopes and in old people. This gives a honeycomb appearance and on rupture of the cyst or cysts by slight or severe trauma a depression is produced which may be confined to the inner layers of the retina or form a macular hole. A hole may occur in a normal macula immediately after trauma or after an interval during which probably cystic degeneration has developed. A macular hole may also be formed in the process of retrac- tion of the vitreous if the macula is previously diseased or affected. These holes are always round or oval with a punched appearance. Multiple holes are rare. They may or may not be accompanied by retinal detachment. copyright. It seems that relationship exists between the formation of a macular hole and the contraction of the inferior oblique muscle (el Massri, 1958). In about five out of nine cases, the hole is accompanied by a peripheral tear or an area of degeneration at about 7 to 8 o'clock in the right eye or 4 to 5 o'clock in the left. At operation the peripheral tears were seen to be situated of the insertion of over the lateral end the inferior oblique.

    Open Access Review Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.5679 Tentorium Cerebelli: the Bridge Between the Central and Peripheral Nervous System, Part 2 Bruno Bordoni 1 , Marta Simonelli 2 , Maria Marcella Lagana 3 1. Cardiology, Foundation Don Carlo Gnocchi, Milan, ITA 2. Osteopathy, French-Italian School of Osteopathy, Pisa, ITA 3. Radiology, IRCCS Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi Onlus, Milan, ITA Corresponding author: Bruno Bordoni, [email protected] Abstract The tentorium cerebelli is a meningeal portion in relation to the skull, the nervous system, and the cervical tract. In this second part, the article discusses the systematic tentorial relationships, such as the central and cervical neurological connections, the venous circulation and highlights possible clinical alterations that could cause pain. To understand the function of anatomy, we should always remember that every area of the human body is never a segment, but a functional continuum. Categories: Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Anatomy, Osteopathic Medicine Keywords: tentorium cerebelli, fascia, pain, venous circulation, neurological connections, cranio Introduction And Background Cervical neurological connections The ansa cervicalis characterizes the first cervical roots and connects all anterior cervical nerve exits with the inferior floor of the oral cavity, the trigeminal system, the respiratory control system, and the sympathetic system. The descending branch of the hypoglossal nerve anastomoses with C1, forming the ansa hypoglossi or ansa cervicalis superior [1]. The inferior root of the ansa cervicalis, also known as descendens cervicalis, is formed by ascendant fibers from spinal nerves C2-C3 and occasionally fibers C4, lying anteriorly to the common carotid artery (it passes laterally or medially to the internal jugular vein upon anatomical variations) [1].

  • The Eye – the Organ of Vision
    THE EYE – THE ORGAN OF VISION The eye is made up of • The EYEBALL (bulbus oculi ) and • various ADNEXA . These adnexa include the ocular muscles, lacrimal apparatus, orbital fasciae, the eyelids and the tunica conjunctiva. Most of these structures are housed in the orbit, where the eyeball is entrenched in generous quantities of fat. When an animal is emaciated the orbital fat is reduced and the eyes sink within the orbits, giving the face a gaunt, suffering appearance. This is of significance in routine clinical examination of animals. The eyes of the domestic mammals protrude more from the surface of the face than do those of primates, human beings included. The position of the eyes in the head is related to the animal’s environment, habits and method of feeding. Generally, predatory species like the dog and cats have their eyes well set forward thus providing a wide field of binocular vision that allows for concentration on near objects and for perception of depth, whereas those that are the hunted (herbivores, horse, ruminants, rabbits) carry their eyes more laterally. Both eyes hardly overlap, thus these animals are constantly aware of their environment, but have little capacity for binocular vision. Thus it is advised to approach the horse for example for the side to reduce apprehension. The eye is almost entirely enclosed within the cone-shaped cavity (orbit) on the lateral surface of the skull that is delimited externally by a bony margin. The bony ring is completed by the orbital ligament in the pigs and carnivores. THE EYEBALL (BULBUS OCULI ) The eyeball is nearly spherical in outline, except at the anterior where the cornea (the transparent part of the eyeball) bulges.

  • 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.
