ABSTRACT
Objective: To assess the frequency of biliary tree variants of potential liver donors presented to King Hussein Medical Center
Methods: This is a retrospective study done at KHMC on 120 patients aged between 20-45 years presented to KHMC as potential liver donors, MRCP was performed as part of their preoperative evaluation, studies were reviewed by radiologists and results analyzed using simple statistical methods
Results: Of the 120 donors 82 had normal biliary tree anatomy [type I]. 21 had anatomical variation which is around 31% .the most common anomaly was type III followed by type II then the other rare variants that will be discussed in details later
Conclusion: Biliary tree anatomy may have a lot of variation that may interfere with liver transplant surgeries and this made preoperative evaluation of biliary tree a mandatory step. MRCP proved to be highly sensitive and dependable way of assessment of biliary tree. The commonest anomalies were type III followed by Type II
ABSTRACT
To evaluate the prevalence of each KEROS subclass among Jordanian population, and to compare between subclass distribution in right and left side, and also between different genders. Retrospectively evaluating computed tomography studies for paranasal sinuses of 100 different patients, the depth of lateral lamellae of cribriform plate was measured and this was plotted against the different subtypes of Keros classes considering gender variations. The favorable classes were found to be II, I and III in order, having percentages of 70.5%, 22% and 7.5% respectively. Minimal male to female variations were found as well as minimal right to left variations. Racial variations were noted when comparing our study results to other studies worldwide. Significant racial variation is noted when considering Keros classification among population. Keros categorization of patients is emphasized when performing paranasal sinuses Computed Tomography
