摘要
导言蚓状阑尾是一种个体差异很大的残余器官。尽管蚓部阑尾的胚胎发育过程相同,但也存在先天性畸形,如重复和无盲肠。无阑尾是一种罕见的情况,即蚯蚓状阑尾缺失,但对个体没有影响。病例信息本报告选取了六例南非成年人口中的阑尾无阑尾病例。其中以 III 型阑尾缺失最为常见(83.33%)。结论了解蚓部阑尾的解剖变异有助于临床医生进行腹腔内手术。由于阑尾无节段是一种异常现象,因此了解阑尾无节段的解剖变异有助于临床医生进行腹腔内手术,确保手术前做好充分准备。
Agenesis of the vermiform appendix in a South African population: A case series
Introduction
The vermiform appendix is a highly variable vestigial organ among different individuals. Despite the common embryological process, there are congenital abnormalities of the vermiform appendix such as duplicity and agenesis. Agenesis is a rare occurrence in which the vermiform appendix is absent; however, there is no effect on the individual.
Case information
Six cases of appendicular agenesis within a select adult South African population are reported. Type III appendicular agenesis was prevalent (83.33 %). There was one case of type V appendicular agenesis.
Conclusion
Knowledge of the anatomical variations of the vermiform appendix can assist the clinician during intra-abdominal surgeries. It will ensure thorough preparation as agenesis is an anomalous occurrence.
期刊介绍:
Translational Research in Anatomy is an international peer-reviewed and open access journal that publishes high-quality original papers. Focusing on translational research, the journal aims to disseminate the knowledge that is gained in the basic science of anatomy and to apply it to the diagnosis and treatment of human pathology in order to improve individual patient well-being. Topics published in Translational Research in Anatomy include anatomy in all of its aspects, especially those that have application to other scientific disciplines including the health sciences: • gross anatomy • neuroanatomy • histology • immunohistochemistry • comparative anatomy • embryology • molecular biology • microscopic anatomy • forensics • imaging/radiology • medical education Priority will be given to studies that clearly articulate their relevance to the broader aspects of anatomy and how they can impact patient care.Strengthening the ties between morphological research and medicine will foster collaboration between anatomists and physicians. Therefore, Translational Research in Anatomy will serve as a platform for communication and understanding between the disciplines of anatomy and medicine and will aid in the dissemination of anatomical research. The journal accepts the following article types: 1. Review articles 2. Original research papers 3. New state-of-the-art methods of research in the field of anatomy including imaging, dissection methods, medical devices and quantitation 4. Education papers (teaching technologies/methods in medical education in anatomy) 5. Commentaries 6. Letters to the Editor 7. Selected conference papers 8. Case Reports
