Abstract

Cervical fascias are critically important in compartmentalizing spaces of the head and neck with significant clinical and surgical implications. Knowledge and deep understanding of the cervical fascias serves to facilitate radiologic and clinical diagnostics, safe surgical practices, and advancements in surgical interventions. Precise anatomical knowledge, standardized terminology in clinical practice and a profound understanding of the 3-dimensional relationships created by cervical fascias is therefore important in the identification and management of head and neck pathologies. Standard 2-dimensional representations of the cervical fascia undermine the importance of these anatomical relationships which require a deep understanding of depth perception. We therefore develop a 3D virtual anatomic model of the cervical fascias of the head and neck and the spaces created. Using the segmented computerized tomography (CT) angiogram of a healthy 29-year-old female supplemented with detailed review of present literature, an anatomically accurate 3D model was developed by an experienced medical illustrator. Surgical and clinical importance of these structures are further detailed. The final 3D model was rendered and uploaded to a 3D model repository where it can be utilized for visualization of these complex relationships. This accurate 3D anatomical model serves as a tool in clinical and surgical education and practice.
头颈筋膜层及其在三维空间中创建的空间:使用同行评审文献,放射成像和经验丰富的医学插画师创建的解剖模型
颈筋膜在分隔头颈部的空间方面是至关重要的,具有重要的临床和外科意义。对颈筋膜的知识和深入理解有助于促进放射学和临床诊断、安全的手术实践和外科干预的进步。因此,精确的解剖学知识、临床实践中标准化的术语以及对颈筋膜所产生的三维关系的深刻理解对于头颈部病理的识别和管理非常重要。颈筋膜的标准二维表示破坏了这些解剖关系的重要性,这需要深度感知的深刻理解。因此,我们开发了头部和颈部颈筋膜及其空间的三维虚拟解剖模型。利用一名29岁健康女性的分段计算机断层扫描(CT)血管造影,辅以对现有文献的详细回顾,由一位经验丰富的医学插图画家建立了解剖学上准确的3D模型。这些结构的外科和临床重要性进一步详细说明。最终的3D模型被渲染并上传到3D模型存储库,在那里它可以用于这些复杂关系的可视化。这种精确的3D解剖模型可作为临床和外科教育和实践的工具。

期刊介绍: This large-size, atlas-format journal presents detailed illustrations of new surgical procedures and techniques in otology, rhinology, laryngology, reconstructive head and neck surgery, and facial plastic surgery. Feature articles in each issue are related to a central theme by anatomic area or disease process. The journal will also often contain articles on complications, diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation. New techniques that are non-operative are also featured.
