Abstract

Context: The vermiform appendix is an abdominal organ having variable length and position. It provides immunological function. Vermiform appendix is involved in different disease processes such as appendicitis, carcinoma and diverticulitis. Appendicitis is the most important clinical condition. An appropriate anatomical knowledge about vermiform appendix is important for surgeons, pathologists and other physicians for proper diagnosis and management of appendicitis and carcinoma. Study type : Descriptive type of study. Place and period of the study : Department of Anatomy, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka from January 2006 to June 2007. Materials and Method: Sixty (60) human postmortem vermiform appendix, age ranging from 0 to 65 years. Fresh samples were collected from the morgue of Sir Salimullah Medical College and Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into five (5) different age groups. Result: Length of vermiform appendix decreases gradually with increasing age and was highly significant (P<0.001) when compared between the groups. Key words : Length; Vermiform appendix.

蚓状阑尾的长度:死后研究

背景:蚓状阑尾是一个长度和位置可变的腹部器官。它提供免疫功能。蚓状阑尾参与不同的疾病过程，如阑尾炎、癌和憩室炎。阑尾炎是最重要的临床疾病。掌握蚓状阑尾的解剖学知识对外科医生、病理学家和其他内科医生正确诊断和治疗阑尾炎和阑尾癌具有重要意义。研究类型:描述性研究类型。研究地点和时间:2006年1月至2007年6月，达卡萨里穆拉爵士医学院解剖系。材料与方法:60例人类死后蚓状阑尾，年龄0 ~ 65岁。从萨里穆拉爵士医学院和达卡医学院的停尸房收集了新的样本。样本被分为五(5)个不同的年龄组。结果:蚓状阑尾长度随年龄的增长而逐渐减小，组间比较差异极显著(P<0.001)。关键词:长度;阑尾。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.3329/bja.v9i1.8140孟加拉解剖学杂志2011年1月，卷9 No. 1 pp 10-12
