The endoscopic pre-lacrimal recess approach (PLRA) involves removing the medial wall of the pre-lacrimal recess (PLR) between the piriform aperture (PA) and the nasolacrimal duct (NLD) while preserving the inferior turbinate and NLD. We studied the radiologic dimensions of the medial wall of the PLR to assess the feasibility of this approach across different maxillary sinus pathologies.Methods: A retrospective analysis of 104 triplanar CT scans (208 sides) was conducted in patients with maxillary sinus pathologies. Anteroposterior distances from the piriform aperture (PA) to the NLD were measured at three axial levels (inferior, middle, superior). Vertical height from the nasal floor to the orbital floor was recorded. Data were compared between sides using paired t-tests, and between sexes using patient-level averaged values to account for within-patient clustering; level differences were assessed with repeated-measures ANOVA and post-hoc Bonferroni-corrected paired testing.Results: Mean anteroposterior distances were: inferior, 6.8/6.9 mm (right/left); middle, 5.7/5.8 mm; superior, 4.7/4.7 mm. Mean vertical height was 25.1/25.0 mm. All level-to-level differences were significant (p < 0.0001). Males showed a trend toward greater dimensions at all levels, though this did not reach statistical significance after accounting for within-patient clustering (p = 0.08-0.09); vertical height remained significantly greater in males (p < 0.0001). Bilateral symmetry was observed for most measurements.Conclusion: The PLR medial wall shows significant interindividual variation, with the widest anteroposterior corridor consistently located inferiorly and a vertical height reliably exceeding 20 mm. Individualized preoperative CT assessment is essential when planning the PLRA.","PeriodicalId":49461,"journal":{"name":"Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148726992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to define the morphometry, segmental origins, and anatomical variability of these nerves to improve understanding of clinically relevant anatomy.Methods: Eighty sets of thoracic splanchnic nerves from 42 formalin-embalmed donors were dissected. Segmental contributions were recorded and classified, and morphometric measurements were obtained relative to the sympathetic trunk, transverse processes, midline, and aorta. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate differences in morphometric parameters by configuration, laterality, and sex.Results: The GSN was present in 100% of specimens, the LSN in 93.75%, and the lSN in 28.75%. Substantial variability in segmental origin was observed. The most common GSN configuration was T6-T10 (42.5%), whereas the classically described T5-T9 pattern occurred in only 8.75% of cases. For the LSN, T11-T12 (34.67%) and T11 alone (29.33%) were the most common origins, while only 13.33% conformed to the traditionally described T10-T11 pattern. The lSN most commonly originated from T12 (78.26%). Statistically significant differences in nerve position and dimensions were identified with respect to laterality and sex.Conclusion: Thoracic splanchnic nerve anatomy is highly variable, and classically described segmental patterns represent a minority of cases. These findings provide clinically relevant morphometric data that may improve localization during thoracoscopic surgery, splanchnic nerve block, and other interventions involving the thoracic sympathetic system while reducing the risk of iatrogenic injury.","PeriodicalId":49461,"journal":{"name":"Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148726166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bilateral optic canal transverse diameters, canal length, distance from the midline, angular orientation, and optic canal-ICA distance were measured using multiplanar reconstructed images.Results: Significant side-related differences were observed in optic canal position relative to the midline (right: 11.25 ± 2.62 mm, left: 10.08 ± 2.92 mm; p < 0.001) and angular orientation (right: 53.88 ± 9.50°, left: 62.26 ± 11.58°; p < 0.001). No significant side differences were identified for canal diameter, length, or optic canal-ICA distance. The mean optic canal-ICA distance was approximately 2.2 mm, indicating a narrow surgical safety margin. Sex-related differences were limited to selected morphometric parameters.Conclusions: Optic canal morphology is characterized by substantial variability in spatial orientation and side-related asymmetry. In addition to linear dimensions, canal trajectory and its relationship to the ICA represent critical determinants of the surgical corridor.

A total of 120 normal adult knees (61 males, 59 females; age 18-66 years) were imaged on a 1.5-Tesla scanner. The coronal fat-suppressed image was used to measure the popliteus tendon, and the axial T2-weighted image was used to measure the width of the lateral meniscus body. The Mann-Whitney U test with false discovery rate correction was used to evaluate sex differences. Associations with age were evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation.Results: Popliteus tendon thickness was 3.61 ± 0.33 mm in males and 2.77 ± 0.23 mm in females (p < 0.001; r = 0.84). Lateral meniscus body width was 8.35 ± 0.47 mm and 7.48 ± 0.48 mm, respectively (p < 0.001; r = 0.69).

We provide a narrative review of these topics, illustrated by an index case of almost complete epiglottic mineralisation identified on CT angiography.Methods: A case of incidentally detected epiglottic mineralisation on retrospective head-and-neck CT angiography was analysed using multiplanar reformations, maximum-intensity projections, bone-window images, and three-dimensional reconstructions. Measurements were obtained with calibrated workstation calipers and verified by two senior researchers in independent sessions.Results: In a 90-year-old man, almost complete mineralisation of the epiglottis involved the petiolus epiglottidis and extended through the infrahyoid portion (body and stalk) and the suprahyoid portion (body and base). The infrahyoid portion (body and stalk) measured 1.703 cm in height and the suprahyoid portion (body and base) 0.973 cm; the midline hyoid-epiglottis distance was 0.842 cm. The mineralised superolateral margins were 1.6 mm (right) and 1.4 mm (left) from the posterior pharyngeal wall; the unmineralised posterosuperior margin contacted it directly. No laryngeal-membrane mineralisation was identified.Conclusion: Almost complete epiglottic mineralisation is an uncommon anatomical variant of the laryngeal inlet. Extensive epiglottic involvement, angulation of the hyoid-epiglottic complex, near-contact and contact with the posterior pharyngeal wall, and absence of laryngeal membrane mineralisation make this case relevant to swallowing biomechanics, airway assessment, and the differential diagnosis of supraglottic calcific densities.","PeriodicalId":49461,"journal":{"name":"Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13461744/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148714199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is due to the lack of consensus on the structures that form the roof of the tarsal tunnel. The flexor retinaculum is consistently stated to form the roof, but there is no clear understanding of the anatomy (borders, spatial relations) of this fibrous tissue. This makes the surgical release inconsistent, and potentially incomplete, when treating tarsal tunnel syndrome.Methods: The aim of this study was to accurately describe the roof of the tarsal tunnel. Feet of embalmed Body Donors (n = 15; mean age = 84.64 ± 11.21 years; F = 7, M = 7; L = 10, R = 5) were analysed. They were dissected and modelled in virtual three-dimensional space. The relations and dimensions of all tissues were measured.Results: The roof was formed by both the flexor retinaculum and the abductor hallucis (AbH) muscle (n = 15), and a lateral fascia of the AbH muscle (n = 11). The tarsal tunnel roof was consistently formed by both fibrous and muscular tissues.Conclusion: These data strongly suggest that this unique, multi-tissue organisation of the roof, needs to be further assessed when surgically decompressing the contents of the tarsal tunnel.

Key pedagogical modalities reviewed include anatomical drawing, cadaveric dissection, haptic feedback, and digital and immersive stereoscopic technologies.Results: Anatomical learning unfolds across three complementary cognitive stages: lexical acquisition, three-dimensional spatial reconstruction, and integration into the body schema. Each stage engages distinct but interconnected brain networks, reinforced through repetition and multimodal input.Conclusion: A multisensory, cognitively informed approach to anatomy teaching - combining visual, tactile, auditory and kinaesthetic modalities - optimises student engagement, knowledge retention and spatial understanding.
