This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Kilis State Hospital, Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University, Kahramanmaras, Turkey, from February to August 2017, and comprised patients aged 18-27 years who underwent standardised standing lateral lumbar radiography to eliminate hip and low back disorders. All radiographs were obtained from the hospital database as well as the demographic and contact information of each subject. Patients were invited for an interview and physical examination. Standard standing lateral radiographs of the lumbar spine were obtained from those who had no complaint of back pain and/or lower back problems. Sacro-horizontal angle, lumbosacral joint angle and sacral inclination angle were measured on the radiographic images. SPSS 22 was used to analyse data. Of the 150 subjects evaluated, 80(53.33%) were women and 70(46.77) were men. There was no statistic...

We report the presence of bilateral triple renal arteries, discovered on routine dissection of a male cadaver. On the right side, one additional renal artery originated from the abdominal aorta (distributed to superior pole of the kidney) and one other originated from the right common iliac artery (distributed to lower pole of the kidney). On the left side, both additional renal arteries originated from the abdominal aorta. Our observation has been compared with variations described in the literature and their clinical importance has been emphasized.

It was conducted on 400 consecutive patients without sacroiliac complaint who underwent pelvic CT scanning for various reasons. Patients' ages were 15 or above. Anatomical variants that we observed were accessory sacroiliac joint (70 patients, 17.5%), iliosacral complex (38 patients, 9.5%), bipartite iliac bony plate (22 patients, 5.5%), semicircular defects on iliac/ sacral side (19 patients, 4.8%), crescent like iliac bony plate (14 patients, 3.5%) and ossification centers (4 patients, 1.0%). The mean joint space width of the 400 patients was 1.72+/-0.57 mm (from 0.77 mm to 4.39 mm). In adults below 40 years of age, the measured width was 2.49+/-0.66 mm. In older patients, 1.47+/-0.21 mm. Joints which presented anatomical variants (206 articulations) had a non-uniform joint space in 164 (79.6%), whereas uniform joint space were seen in 42 (20.4%) articulations. The joint width were less than 2 mm in 193 (93.7%) articulations and in 13 (6.3%) articulations were greater or equal to 2 mm. This study has demonstrated that anatomical variations and joint space are independently related to age, gender, Body Mass Index and childbirth in patients. We believe that all this information is helpful to interpret and examine the sacroiliac computed tomography images.

In this study, our goal was to review the literature information about the anatomic aspects, the clinical manifestations and implications, and the angiographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: The angiographic data of 7200 adult patients undergoing coronary angiography were retrospectively analysed for the diagnosis of myocardial bridge. The main angiographic evidence of a myocardial bridge that we required was the narrowing of a systolic coronary artery resulting in at least 50% reduction of lumen diameter in comparison with the diastolic phase. All coronary angiograms were reviewed independently by at least 2 of the authors and the case was included only if there was a consensus that the myocardial bridge resulted in 50% narrowing or more. Results: Myocardial bridge was present in 29 (0.4%) of the 7200 coronary angiographies. The location of the myocardial bridge was in the left anterior descending coronary artery in 28 cases (96.5%), and the left circumflex coronary artery in 1 case (3.4%). Myocardial bridge was most common in the middle segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery (78.5 %). Each of these patients with myocardial bridge was referred for angiography because of symptom of chest pain alone or symptom of chest pain, palpitations and dyspnoea. Of the 29 patients with myocardial bridge, 2 patients without any symptom, demonstrated ischaemia as assessed by Tc-99m MIBI myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Conclusion: Chest pain was the common reason for angiography in patients with myocardial bridge. The incidence of myocardial bridge may vary according to population. Myocardial bridge is more frequently found in the middle segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery.

However, a single right coronary artery has a much rarer incidence. We report here the antemortem diagnosis of a case with R-I subtype single coronary artery supplying the entire myocardium. A 36-year-old female with chest pain and dyspnea on exertion was admitted to the hospital, whose coronary angiography revealed a single, large coronary artery originating in the right aortic sinus. No observable change was detected in her electrocardiogram and her angiographic examination did not reveal any significant luminal narrowing although she experienced chest pain and dyspnea on exertion. R-I type of single coronary artery is an anomaly with a very rare incidence, which may cause myocardial ischemia and sudden death and whose recognition might be of use to physicians when diagnosing and treating this anomaly.

We evaluated the effects of age and gender on eyelid structures in 100 Caucasian volunteers in the Ophthalmology and Anatomy Departments, University of Gaziantep Medical School, Turkey between 2003 and 2004. Forty-five females with mean age of 36 years (5-80 years) and 55 males with mean age of 39 years (3-68 years) participated in the study. We divided subjects into 6 groups according to decades. We measured the palpebral fissure length (PFL), the distance between the pupil center and the upper eyelid (PC-UE) and lower eyelid margin (PC-LE), the eyebrow height (EH), the eye crease height (ECH) and the distance from the reference line to the pupil center (RL-PC), using a reference line through the medial canthus and vertical line through the pupil center of the frontal slides. The measurements of PFL were between 23.5 mm and 29 mm in fema...

Among 10,042 adult patients, 5 (0.04%) patients (4 men and 1 woman, age range 40-74, median 58 years old) had anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery. The left main coronary artery arose from the right coronary sinus of Valsalva in 2 (0.019%) patients (both of them had a retro-aortic course), from above the left coronary sinus of Valsalva in 2 (0.019%) patients, and from above the non-coronary (posterior)-left coronary commisure in 1 (0.009%) patient. Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery is potentially a serious condition, as it can lead to myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death under physical exertion. Therefore, greater effort for early detection and surgical repair of this anomaly are warranted. The angiographic recognition of anomalous...

Therefore, we need to know the precise anatomy and anatomic variations of the lateral nasal wall. This is important in order to achieve better surgical results and avoid complications. We also need to know the relationship between the anatomic variations and sinonasal disease. For the purpose of this study we assessed the anatomic variations of the lateral nasal wall and the association of these variations with chronic sinusitis in children. Forty-seven children with chronic sinus disease were included in the study. There were 25 female and 22 male patients with ages ranging from 2 to 16 years (mean 10.5+/-3.8 years). On coronal and axial computed tomographic (CT) scans, the anatomic variations of the lateral nasal wall and sinusitis were assessed. A pneumatized middle concha (MC) was the most common anatomic variation, followed by pneumatization of the superior concha (SC), Haller cell and agger nasi cell. Secondary MC, l...

We report a case of a 57-year-old woman with atypical chest pain, in whom coronary angiography showed a L-I subtype single coronary artery (arising from a single ostium in the left sinus of valsalva) without associated cardiovascular disease. The clinical significance and subtype of the single coronary artery are discussed.

This study was carried out at the Sani Konukoklu Medical Center, Gaziantep, Turkey, during the period January 1999 through to May 2001. The angiographic data of 10,042 consecutive adult patients who underwent coronary angiography was analyzed for anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery. Among 10,042 adults patients, 27 (0.3%) had anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery. The left circumflex coronary artery arose from the left coronary sinus of valsalva in 15 (55.5%) patients, from the right coronary sinus of valsalva in 7 (25.9%) patients, and from the proximal part of the right coronary artery in 8 (29.6%) patients. The anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery may not always be benign. Therefore, recognition of this anomaly is mandatory to prevent the risk of infarction or sudden death.

He had full extension of his elbow, while flexion motion was limited to 90 degrees. His hand was radially deviated. The thumb was absent. The index and middle fingers were united and immobile. The ring finger had movement only at the metacarpophalangeal joint, while the little finger had full motion. Complete blood count fell within normal ranges. He had no other malformations or mental retardation. No hereditary family history was found and there was no consanguineous marriage. This case is different from cases mentioned in the literature due to lunate hypoplasia and the anomalies of the index, middle and ring fingers.

A total of 18 limbs (9 right, 9 left) were examined for the fibular incisura of the tibia by magnetic resonance imaging at Gunmar Magnetic Resonance Imaging Center between September 2000 to May 2001. This group consisted of 10 males and 8 females and their age ranged between 18-61 years. The control group was made up of 75 participating volunteers without previous history of trauma in the ankle. The measurements of the length of the anterior and posterior facets, depth of the fibular incisura of the tibia and the distance between anterior margin of the tibia and anterior margin of the fibula in the patient group were visibly different from the measurements of the control group. In recurrent sprained ankle, the anterior and posterior tubercles were lengthier, the depth of the fibular incisura of the tibia was deeper and the fibula was more anterior than the control gr...

This study was carried out at the Sani Konukoklu Medical Center, Gaziantep, Turkey, during the period January 1999 through to May 2001. The angiographic data of 10,042 consecutive adult patients who underwent coronary angiography was analyzed for anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery. Among 10,042 adults patients, 27 (0.3%) had anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery. The left circumflex coronary artery arose from the left coronary sinus of valsalva in 15 (55.5%) patients, from the right coronary sinus of valsalva in 7 (25.9%) patients, and from the proximal part of the right coronary artery in 8 (29.6%) patients. The anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery may not always be benign. Therefore, recognition of this anomaly is mandatory to prevent the risk of infarction or sudden death.

He had full extension of his elbow, while flexion motion was limited to 90 degrees. His hand was radially deviated. The thumb was absent. The index and middle fingers were united and immobile. The ring finger had movement only at the metacarpophalangeal joint, while the little finger had full motion. Complete blood count fell within normal ranges. He had no other malformations or mental retardation. No hereditary family history was found and there was no consanguineous marriage. This case is different from cases mentioned in the literature due to lunate hypoplasia and the anomalies of the index, middle and ring fingers.

A total of 18 limbs (9 right, 9 left) were examined for the fibular incisura of the tibia by magnetic resonance imaging at Gunmar Magnetic Resonance Imaging Center between September 2000 to May 2001. This group consisted of 10 males and 8 females and their age ranged between 18-61 years. The control group was made up of 75 participating volunteers without previous history of trauma in the ankle. The measurements of the length of the anterior and posterior facets, depth of the fibular incisura of the tibia and the distance between anterior margin of the tibia and anterior margin of the fibula in the patient group were visibly different from the measurements of the control group. In recurrent sprained ankle, the anterior and posterior tubercles were lengthier, the depth of the fibular incisura of the tibia was deeper and the fibula was more anterior than the control gr...

We report the presence of bilateral triple renal arteries, discovered on routine dissection of a male cadaver. On the right side, one additional renal artery originated from the abdominal aorta (distributed to superior pole of the kidney) and one other originated from the right common iliac artery (distributed to lower pole of the kidney). On the left side, both additional renal arteries originated from the abdominal aorta. Our observation has been compared with variations described in the literature and their clinical importance has been emphasized.
