Lister’s Tubercle (LT) is an important anatomical, surgical landmark during various orthopaedic and other surgical procedures on the distal radius. Aim: To determine the anatomical localisation of LT in relation to radial styloid process and ulnar notch and to measure the morphometric parameters of LT on dry radii. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was done on 180 radii, 90 right-sided and 90 left-sided obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Medical College Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India, from December 2021 to August 2022. Localisation and length, width and height of the lister tubercle were measured with the help of a vernier calliper. Mean and range of each parameter was calculated. All measurements were made by two observers to avoid bias interpretation. The data were entered in Microsoft Excel window 10. Results...

On rare occasions, an anomalous third head arises from the superomedial part of the brachialis and is attached to the bicipital aponeurosis and the medial side of the tendon of insertion. The slip frequently descends in front of and behind the brachial artery and often causes compression of the median nerve or brachial artery. Aim: To calculate incidence of the supernumerary third head of the biceps brachii along with its anatomical and morphological variations to establish its clinical significance. Materials and Methods: The observational study was conducted in Department of Anatomy, Dr. Kiran C Patel Medical College and Research Institute, Bharuch, Gujarat, India, from October 2021 to September 2022. It included 32 cadaveric upper limbs- 16 right-sided and 16 left-sided. The morphometric measurements were done with the use of digital vernier caliper. The findings were photographed and...

The Posterior Cerebral Arteries (PCAs) are paired vessels, usually arising from the top of the basilar artery and form the lower boundary of circle of Willis. The left and right arteries supply oxygenated blood to the occipital lobe, the inferior part of the temporal lobe, the posterior limb of the internal capsule and the thalamus. Aim: To observe record and compare variations in the length and diameter of PCA. Materials and Methods: Sixty human formalin fixed brain specimens were obtained from cadavers donated for the study purpose in the Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Baroda and other medical colleges of Gujarat. The process was undertaken according to the dissection method as per the Cunningham's manual. The variation in length and diameter of PCA was noted using digital Vernier calipers. Results: The mean length of ...

Although the segmental anatomy of the liver has been extensively researched, very few studies have dealt with surface variations of the liver. The major fissures are important landmarks for interpreting the lobar anatomy and locating the liver lesions. Aim: To determine gross anatomical variations of liver and their clinical and surgical implications.

The aim of this study was to observe, record and compare variations in basilar artery regarding its length, mid length diameter, level of origin and level of termination. Method: Sixty human formalin fixed brain specimens obtained from cadavers donated for the study purpose were under examination in the Dept. of Anatomy, Gov. Medical College, Baroda. The process was undertaken according to the dissection method as per the Cunningham manual. The variation in length and diameter of basilar artery was noted using Digital Vernier calipers. Variation in origin and termination of basilar artery was noted using magnifying glass. Results: Variation in basilar artery diameter found ranged from min 2.02 mm to max 4.45 mm. Variation in length found ranged from min 20.1 mm to 42.02. In most of the cases basilar artery origin and termination was normal. In 4 cases origin was above the Ponto-Medullary junction and in 3 cases it was below. In 2 cases termination was above the Ponto-Mesencephalic junction and in 1 case it was below. Discussion: This observation highlight the variations in morphological aspects of the basilar artery, the knowledge of variations would help neurosurgeons safely diagnose, as well as plan and execute vascular bypass and shunting procedures for the treatment of stenosis, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations in the posterior cranial fossa.

Larynx from inside outward has a framework of mucosa surrounded by fibroelastic membrane which inturn surrounded by cartilages & muscles. Thyroid cartilage is largest among all the laryngeal cartilage. Aims: To find out dimension of various parameters of thyroid cartilage, variation, differences among all the data & to compare data between males & females. Material & Methods: Fourty five samples of adult thyroid cartilage (24 males & 21 females) of known sex were taken from embalmed cadavers. Morphometric measurement was taken using a digital vernier caliper & goniometer to see normal variation, sex differences and bilateral asymmetry. Observation were analysed after calculating mean &SD. Results: Parameters measured in thyroid cartilage were show significant difference in males & females. All the parameters of thyroid cartilage except thyroid angle were higher in males than females. Bilateral asymmetry in the size of thyroid lamina was seen in majority of specimens. However, in 3 cases (6.67 %) thyroid prominence was not in median plane, deviated towards left side. In one case asymmetry was also associated with asymmetry in direction of superior cornu. Conclusion: The detailed study of thyroid cartilage in the form of morphometric parameters of thyroid cartilage is useful for Anatomist, Plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons and Radiologist to perform advanced surgical & endoscopic procedure & surgeries, planning of laryngeal framework & facial feminization surgery & to analysis of CT-MRI scans of larynx.
