An anatomic study of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve

In this study, the course of the lateral femoral cutaneous n. was examined bilaterally in 22 cadavers. Seven of these 44 lateral femoral cutaneous nn. showed variations in their course, especially in their number of branches under the inguinal ligament. During operations where the lateral femoral cutaneous n. may be damaged or in its decompression surgery, the nerve is to be found under the inguinal ligament. 1.52 ± 0.84 cm medial to the anterior superior iliac spine. This nerve can be found passing through the inguinal ligament in as many as four branches.

Deep femoral artery with four variations: a case report

During our routine dissection course for students we found a complex variation of the femoral artery on the left side of a 72-year-old male cadaver. The deep femoral artery was originating from the anterior aspect of the femoral artery; the inferior epigastric and the external pudendal arteries were arising from the deep femoral artery. Besides, the lateral circumflex femoral artery was arising from the lateral aspect of the femoral artery and distal to the origin of the deep femoral artery.

High Ascending Vertebral Artery: Case Report

1588 he vertebral artery (VA) branches from the superoposterior aspect of the first part of the subclavian artery (SA) and ascends to enter the transverse foramen of the sixth cervical vertebra (C6); it ascends through the transverse foramina of the remaining vertebrae and goes behind the lateral mass of the atlas and then enters the cranial cavity through the foramen magnum. The VA has spinal and muscular branches in the neck region; in the cranium, it gives rise to anterior and posterior spinal arteries, meningeal arteries, and posterior inferior cerebellar artery. After giving their branches, two VA’s unite with each other to form the basilar artery. The VA is divided into four parts according to the regions it passes. The first part (V1 segment) is the part between the its origin on the SA and the respective foramen transversarium, the second part (V2 segment) is the part High Ascending Vertebral Artery: Case Report
