An anatomy-based lumped parameter model of cerebrospinal venous circulation: can an extracranial anatomical change impact intracranial hemodynamics? [PDF]
Background The relationship between extracranial venous system abnormalities and central nervous system disorders has been recently theorized. In this paper we delve into this hypothesis by modeling the venous drainage in brain and spinal column areas

Anatomic variations in the surgical anatomy of the thoracic esophagus and its surrounding structures [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy is a challenging procedure due to: a) it is a complex operation; b) it is linked to very high morbidity and mortality rates; c) surgical anatomy of the esophagus is very peculiar. The anatomic variations that can be unexpectedly

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Cannula Malposition in the Azygos Vein in a Neonate with Right-Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia [PDF]
Malposition of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) venous cannula in the azygos vein is not frequently reported. We hereby present such a case, which occurred in a neonate with right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

The azygos lobe, an incidental finding in computer tomography
The azygos lobe is an anatomical variant of the upper lobe, which occurs most often in the right lung. Atypical course of the azygos vein is formed during embryogenesis, while the precursor of this vein migrates through the lung and creates the azygos ...
