The anatomy of the cystic artery is very variable, creating potential problems during surgery. This study documents variations in the origin of the cystic artery and its location in relation to the biliary ducts among 106 Sudanese people and compared the variations between the sexes and races. The cystic artery originated from the right hepatic artery in 78% of cases, the common hepatic artery ...

INTRODUCTION A single gallbladder with a double cystic duct is a very rare finding. In addition, few cases with this rare condition are preoperatively diagnosed. However, the preoperative confirmation or suspicion of this rare condition could facilitate safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is a minimally invasive therapeutic modality for gallbladder disease. We herein present a case of gall...

Coronary arteriosystemic fistula which drains into the left ventricular cavity is a rare congenital anomaly. A case of double fistulae between the left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries and left ventricular cavity is presented. The patient's chief complaint, chest pain, was attributable to the "steal phenomenon."

Coeliac trunk and Superior Mesenteric arteries are very much susceptible to variations were described by Tandler in 1904. Abdominal aorta branches classified as single double or visceral parietal. Double middle suprarenal, renal testicular coeliac trunk, superior mesenteric inferior arteries. Materials Methods: After obtaining ethical committee approval, we observed the origin, course branching...

MR in two patients with unusual widening of the Virchow-Robin spaces showed multiple cystic foci up to 2 cm in diameter along the perforating medullary arteries in the cerebral white matter, mainly in one cerebral hemisphere. These areas were of the same signal intensity as cerebrospinal fluid on all pulse sequences. In one patient, the cystic foci in the white matter were biopsied and histolog...

Knowledge of the variant vascular anatomy of the subhepatic region is important for hepatobiliary surgeons in limiting operative complications due to unexpected bleeding. The pattern of arterial blood supply of 102 gallbladders was studied by gross dissection. The cystic artery originated from the right hepatic artery in 92.2% of cases. The rest were aberrant and originated from the proper hepa...

BACKGROUND The testicular arteries normally arise from the abdominal aorta. There are reports about the variant origin of these arteries. Accessory renal arteries are also a common finding but their providing origin to testicular arteries is an important observation. The variations described here are unique and provide significant information to surgeons dissecting the abdominal cavity. CASE ...

We describe a previously healthy 48-year-old man who presented with clinical characteristics suggestive of internal carotid artery dissection, confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. He developed a massive infarction of the left cerebral hemisphere and died after 3 days of transtentorial herniation. Post-mortem examination identified a dissection of the thoracic aorta caused by Erdheim-Gsell c...
