Posterior Division of Left Renal Artery is Direct Branch of Abdominal Aorta and early Ramification of Renal Arteries on Both Sides: A Case Report.

Knowledge of the vascular anatomy of the kidney is important not only for Anatomist but also to the surgeons to avoid surgical accidental injuries during partial nephrectomy, renal transplantation, interventional radiological procedures, laparoscopic renal surgeries and donor nephrectomies, urological and renal vascular operations more safely and efficiently. During the routine dissection in the department of Anatomy, Khaja Bandanawaz Institute of Medical Sciences, Gulbarga. We observed an unusual variation in the vascular supply to the kidney on the left side of a 49 years male cadaver. We observed accessory renal artery to supply apical segment and posterior segment is directly coming from abdominal aorta.

Synostosis of First Costomanubrial Joint.

The rare congenital anomaly of ribs was found incidentally during routine osteology classes. This type of abnormality of first rib May leads to compression of Neurovascular bundle and causes thoracic outlet syndrome. We are reporting a case of Synostosis of first rib, which we come across during osteology classes at Department of Anatomy, KBNIMS, Gulbarga, Karnataka, India. The specimen showed fusion of first rib with sternum on both sides which is very rare. As far as the literature referred there was no such kind of anomaly reported. Knowledge of such anomalies is an important to know, especially for surgeons and radiologists for interpretation.

Unique 28 cm Long Vermiform Appendix.

Vermiform appendix is a vestigial organ in human beings and situated at the ileocaecal junction. It opens into the caecum. It is a narrow tube of varying length. The normal, average length is about 5 cm to 10 cm. The longest vermiform appendix has been reported to be measuring about 25 cm. In the present case a long vermiform appendix was observed in female, formalin fixed, adult cadaver during the routine dissection for medical undergraduates. The Vermiform appendix was retrocaecal and extending to retro colic in position and its length was measured as 28 cms. When such a long vermiform appendix is present, the inflammatory conditions may simulate enteritis, salpingitis or endometriosis of the uterus. Sometimes it may herniate through a weak abdominal wall like the intestines or the peritoneum. Therefore the knowledge of the length and the position of the vermiform appendix are important clinically.
