Both right and left AOAs descended into the lesser pelvis with a venous corona mortis and entered the obturator canal on its anterolateral wall where each artery is joined by two (superior and inferior) obturator veins (OVs) and the obturator nerve on the respective side. The bilateral venous corona mortis connected the superior obturator veins with inferior epigastric veins, while on left hemi-pelvis, a second venous corona mortis additionally connected the inferior obturator vein with external iliac vein. These variant pelvic vessels are prone to injuries by trauma during accidents, iatrogenic injuries during inguinal and femoral hernia operations, and other orthopedic, gynecologic and urologic procedures. Such injuries have high morbidity and mortality rate due to hemorrhagic shock, therefore, caution must be exercised to avoid excessive hemorrhage and other complications.","PeriodicalId":280482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anatomical Variation and Clinical Case Report","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121936770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Mega-Cecum with Short Intraperitoneal Ascending Colon and Retrocecal Terminal Ileum: A Short Review and Case Report","authors":"Chernet Bahru Tessema","doi":"10.61309/javccr.1000103","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.61309/javccr.1000103","url":null,"abstract":"The dissection of the abdominal cavity of an 81-year-old male donor revealed an unusually large cecum, filling the right iliac fossa and most part of the right side of the peritoneal cavity up to the fundus of the gall bladder. It was attached to the parietal peritoneum of the posterior abdominal wall by a short mesocecum. The ileocecal junction was shifted posterolaterally, closer to the posterolateral abdominal wall and the terminal ileum was found running from medial to lateral dorsal to the cecum (retrocecal) to reach the ileocecal junction. The cecum continued into a short intraperitoneal ascending colon with a long ascending mesocolon. The transitional area between the cecum and ascending colon was displaced medially close to the lumbar vertebral column. Since the ileocecal region is one of the common sites of different kinds of gastrointestinal diseases, such a complex variation can cause diagnostic and therapeutic difficulty that could result in failure of treatment as well as iatrogenic injuries during various procedures. Therefore, gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal surgeons and radiologists must be aware of such coexisting variations of the cecum, ileum and ascending colon.","PeriodicalId":280482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anatomical Variation and Clinical Case Report","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132433978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a case of rectus sternalis muscles found in an 88-year-old White female donor during an anatomy course. The embryology and function of this vestigial muscle remain unclear. The muscle has clinical significance in breast augmentation surgery and mammography. In surgery, the muscle can be used to improve the end quality of breast augmentations. In mammography, the rectus sternalis muscle can mimic irregular masses in the breast, leading to misdiagnosis. Advanced imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography scans can confirm the presence of rectus sternalis muscle. Lack of awareness of this muscle can result in surgical complications and unnecessary procedures. Physicians should be aware of this anatomical variation to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical planning.","PeriodicalId":280482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anatomical Variation and Clinical Case Report","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129380395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
