ABSTRACT

During routine dissection of abdomen an accessory leftgastric artery was found arising from the splenic arteryin one out of 30 adult formalin fixed cadavers in theDepartment of Anatomy, Kasturba Medical CollegeManipal. The origin of left gastric artery was normal.The accessory artery was running upwards behind usualleft gastric artery and run along lesser curvature of thestomach and also gave oesophageal branch supplyingthe lower part of esophagus. Before attempting anysurgical procedure on stomach or lower end ofoesophagus, preoperative evaluation of the arterialpattern and variations is desirable for correct surgicalapproach and to reduce postoperative complications.However, accessory left gastric origin from splenicartery becomes important to be noted when the patientundergoes angiography for diagnostic bleeding orduring trans catheter therapy. Knowledge about thesevariations is also important to be noted prior to surgeryin order to prevent postoperative complications whichwould be fatal.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The orbit is the cavity of the skull in which the eye and its appendages are situated. Orbitaldimensions of skull vary in different races of mankind. Its dimensions are better understood by the knowledge ofthe orbital index. Normal values of orbital height, orbital width and orbital index are vital measurements inevaluation and diagnosis of craniofacial syndromes, interpretation of fossil records, skull classification inforensic medicine, anthropological investigation of unknown individuals for determining gender, ethnicity, etcand in exploring the trends in evolutionary and ethnic differencesMaterials and methods: It is a cross sectional study conducted on 100 adult dry human skulls available in theDepartment of Anatomy, Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College, Kolar. The orbital dimensions were measured with thehelp of Vernier caliper.Results: The mean orbital height for the right and left sides were 31.6 ± 1.8mm and 31.8 ± 1.8mm while, theirorbital width were 37.4 ± 2.1 and 37.2 ± 2.09 mm respectively. The mean orbital index was 84.49mm on right and85.48mm on left side, and can be classified as Mesoseme category.Conclusion: This study provides useful baseline orbital morphometric data of South Indian population, whichare very important during ophthalmological, plastic surgery, maxillofacial, reconstructive cosmetic surgeries offace and neurosurgeries and also in the forensic research.
