The petrotympanic canal (Huguier canal): Evolutionary, anatomical, and medical perspectives
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The petrotympanic canal, traditionally referred to as Civinini's or Huguier's canal, represents an anatomical passage connecting the middle ear and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Despite its early description, its structural complexity and functional significance have often been underestimated. In this study, we combined historical, anatomical,

Trans‐Cervical Ultrasound Imaging of the Adult Palatine Tonsils
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.Ultrasound imaging of the adult palatine tonsils using a trans‐cervical approach can be used to assess the tonsillar region for intratonsillar and peritonsillar abscesses. An understanding of the sonographic anatomy, technique and tonsillar pathology is required to perform and interpret imaging and inform patient management.
