Unusual communication of profunda femoris vein with the popliteal vein in the middle of the popliteal fossa
Profunda femoris vein (PFV) rarely forms a direct communication with the lower end of the femoral vein (FV) or popliteal vein (PV). During regular dissections for medical undergraduates, we came across a rare anatomical variation of PFV in the right lower limb of an 80-year-old female cadaver. PFV commenced from the PV just above its formation by the union of anterior and posterior tibial veins...
متن کاملPressure Sore at an Unusual Site- the Bilateral Popliteal Fossa: A Case report.
Pressure sore is tissue ulceration due to unrelieved pressure, altered sensory perception, and exposure to moisture. Geriatric patients with organic problems and patients with spinal cord injuries are the high-risk groups. Soft tissues over bony prominences are the common sites for ulcer development. About 95% of pressure ulcers occur in the lower part of the body. Ischial tuberosity, greater t...
متن کاملCommon Peroneal Nerve Palsy after Excision of a Skin Mass in the Posterolateral Popliteal Fossa Region
The aim of this article is to report a patient with an iatrogenic injury of the common peroneal nerve (CPN) caused by compression due to tight fascial closure after surgical excision of a skin mass in the posterolateral popliteal fossa area. Injury to the CPN results in significant disability with foot drop. Palsy of the CPN is a most frequent complication of various orthopedic or other surgica...
متن کاملA Cystic Mass in the Popliteal Fossa and Its Differential Diagnosis
Im ag es A cystic mass arising in the popliteal fossa can be either a meniscal cyst, a synovial cyst (Baker’s cyst), or a ganglionic cyst [1]. Soft-tissue popliteal masses can be evaluated using physical examinations and imaging studies, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thereafter, pathologic studies can be used for making a final confirmation of the diagnos...
متن کاملLateral approach to the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa.
UNLABELLED We describe a modification of the sciatic nerve (SN) block in the popliteal fossa through the lateral approach. After a brief anatomic study using previously reported landmarks, we propose a new needle orientation associated with a double injection technique after identification of the tibial and the common peroneal nerve. Thirty-four patients undergoing ankle or foot surgery were en...
