ABSTRACT
Resumo A artéria ulnar é o maior ramo terminal da artéria braquial, ela apresenta origem na fossa cubital e é coberta pelos músculos flexores do antebraço. Reportamos uma variação anatômica, na qual a artéria ulnar situava-se em posição superficial no antebraço. Por falta de conhecimento sobre essa variação, ocorreu a lesão após uma tentativa de punção venosa, a qual levou à formação de um pseudoaneurisma.
Abstract The ulnar artery is the larger terminal branch of the brachial artery. It originates in the cubital fossa and is covered by the flexor muscles of the forearm. We report an anatomic variant in which the ulnar artery was in a superficial position in the forearm. Since this variant was unknown, an attempted venous puncture injured the artery, causing formation of a pseudoaneurysm.
ABSTRACT
Abstract We present the clinical case of a 39 year old male that presented with a violent death in the city of Medellin. During the necropsy, a horseshoe Kidney was found, which was never diagnosed according to the patients' medical history. It is a case relevant in the medical field given the unusual vasculature that was found, because it's not a usual arrangement. The lack of symptoms and its spontaneous finding during the necropsy, shows us that it's not a rare find in our environment and that it has a big impact in the surgical fields, and in occasions, with urinary tract infections. Methodology: Descriptive. Informed consent was given by the deceased relatives for the use and analysis of the medical history.
Resumen Se expone el caso de un hombre de 39 años que presenta muerte violenta en la ciudad de Medellín. Durante la necropsia se encuentra un riñón en herradura, que no tuvo diagnóstico clínico en su momento, según los hallazgos en su historial médico. Es un caso que puede tener implicaciones en el campo médico, dada la vasculature accesoria que presenta, presentación que no es comúnmente observada. La falta de sintomatología y su hallazgo espontáneo durante la necropsia hacen ver que, a pesar de la poca incidencia, no es extraño encontrar el caso en pacientes de nuestro entorno. Este tiene mayor impacto en el campo quirúrgico y, en ocasiones, en las afecciones urinarias. Metodología: descriptivo. Se obtuvo consentimiento informado, de la familia del occiso, para el estudio de su historial médico.

Resumo A anatomia do sistema venoso dos membros inferiores é uma das mais complexas no corpo humano. Devido a essa condição, é de extrema importância saber identificar variações que possam acometê-la, como as malformações congênitas. Em casos de agenesia de veias profundas, como uma malformação vascular rara, o quadro clínico pode manifestar-se com insuficiência venosa crônica, que pode evoluir com edema, hiperpigmentação e úlcera de membro inferior. Assim, em muitos casos, torna-se uma doença incapacitante e de difícil tratamento. Apresenta-se um caso de agenesia de segmento venoso femoropoplíteo no membro inferior direito em paciente de 36 anos de idade, que cursou com edema e varizes de grosso calibre no membro acometido.
Abstract The anatomy of the venous system of the lower limbs is among the most complex in the human body. In view of this, it is extremely important to know how to identify variations that can affect it, such as congenital malformations, for example. In cases of a rare vascular malformation such as agenesis of deep veins, clinical status may manifest with chronic venous insufficiency, which can progress with edema, hyperpigmentation, and lower limb ulcers. This is very often therefore an incapacitating disease that is difficult to treat. This article describes a case of agenesis of a segment of femoropopliteal vein in the right lower limb of a 36-year-old patient who had edema and large caliber varicose veins in the affected limb.

Hepatic Papillary process is an anatomic variant of liver. When large can simulate mass lesion in pancreatic head region or periportal lymphnode on imaging however liver tissue characteristics and continuity of the process with the caudate lobe facilitate the differentiation between extrahepatic portocaval mass and papillary process. CT is the modility of choice for the right diagnosis of liver anatomical variants.
ABSTRACT
La arteria coronaria descendente anterior es la arteria coronaria con el trayecto más constante; sin embargo en algunas ocasiones puede presentarse un sistema doble. Se reporta y se realiza una revisión de la literatura de un caso de un paciente con arteria coronaria descendente anterior doble tipo 1, con bloqueo de rama izquierda pero sin lesiones ateromatosas significativas.
The left anterior descending coronary artery has one of the most constant anatomy course of all coronary arteries. Rarely however, interventional cardiologists might be facing with a dual left anterior descending artery during routine angiography. A case of a patient presenting with left bundle branch block and a coronary angiography showing a rare anatomic variant of a type 1, dual left anterior descending coronary artery is reported. The available literature was also reviewed.

Este trabajo describe la presencia de la variante anatómica que presenta la arteria hepática derecha como rama de la arteria mesentérica superior en un caso incidental de disección en la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad de Costa Rica, dicha variante se presenta desde 6,4 por ciento hasta un 18 por ciento por lo que debe siempre tenerse en cuenta durante cualquier cirugía hepatobiliar y más aún si se trata de cirugía de transplante hepático. Así mismo se revisa el tema y su importancia clínica...
