Abstract Purpose To evaluate the morphology and course of the splenic artery, which might impact the surgical implantation of systems that stimulate the nerves surrounding the splenic artery. Experimental studies indicate that these nerves play an important part in immune modulation, and might be a potential target in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Methods This retrospective cohort study made use of contrast-enhanced CT images from 40 male and 40 female patients (age 30–69) that underwent a CT examination of the aorta, kidneys or pancreas. Anatomic features were described including total splenic artery length, calibers, tortuosity, the presence of arterial loops and the branching pattern of the splenic artery. Results No age-gender-related differences could be found related to tortuosity or branching pattern. The length of splenic artery in contact with pancreatic tissue decreased with increasing age, but was not different between genders. Artery diameters were wider in male compared to female subjects. Loops of variable directions, that represent a part of the artery that curls out of the pancreatic tissue, were identified in each age-gender category and were present in nearly all subjects (86%). Conclusion This study suggests that although some anatomic features of the splenic artery are subject to factors as age and gender, the tortuosity of the splenic artery is not age dependent. Most subjects had one or multiple loops, which can serve as a target for neuromodulatory devices. Future studies should investigate whether splenic nerve stimulation is safe and feasible.

AbstractDevelopmental anomalies in the origin and branching pattern of the external carotid artery are not common. The level of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and also the variations in the origin/branching pattern of the external carotid artery are well known and documented. During a routine dissection of middle aged male cadaver in department of Anatomy in BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS) The clinically-relevant variations to be noted were the high origin and anomalous course of the facial artery, superior thyroid artery arising as a branch of Common Carotid artery, high origin of ascending pharyngeal artery, posterior auricular artery and direct glandular branches to the Submandibular gland. Such anatomical variations of external carotid artery are important for surgeons in surgeries of head and neck region and also for radiologists in the image interpretation of the face and neck region.

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays an important role in the preoperative evaluation of the living-related liver donors to reduce postoperative morbidity and complications. Though invasive, intraoperative cholangiography is still the golden standard in demonstrating anatomical variation of bile ducts. We design this study to compare the validity and reliability between these two imaging modalities and retrospectively searched the database of living-related liver transplantation (LRLT) center during the period from April 2005 to September 2008. The clinical information and images of total 58 donors (female : male = 35 : 23) were reviewed. Five types of branching patterns of the bile ducts were encountered. The rate of disagreement in the classification of branching pattern between MR and intraoperative cholangiography was 5% (3/58). Intraoperative cholangiography could detect significantly more division degree of right hepatic ducts (mean degree: 7) than MR cholangiography (mean degree: 4) (using paired t-test, p < 0.05). No significant difference existed in the detection of division degree of left hepatic ducts. However, MR cholangiography was significantly better than intraoperative cholangiography in demonstrating major branches of the left hepatic ducts including tributaries of segment 2 and 3 (58/58 versus 35/58) (using McNemar's chi-square test, p < 0.05). We conclude that MR cholangiography is nearly as good as intraoperative cholangiography in identifying the branching pattern of bile ducts, and demonstrates the major left hepatic ducts better.
