ABSTRACT
Background:
Knowledge of the position and grade of accessory fissures and lobes is necessary for appreciation of lobar anatomy and thus locating bronchopulmonary segments.Methods:
Morphological variations of accessory fissures and lobes of the lungs were studied in 40 pairs of lungs from cadavers.Results:
Four left-sided lungs and two right-sided lungs showed accessory fissure in the lower lobe. Only one accessory fissure of left lung belongs to grade-ii and the remaining belongs to grade iii. [According to Craig and Walker’s fissural classification]Conclusions:
Awareness regarding accessory fissures and lobes is essential for performing lobectomies, segmental resection, for differential diagnosis and interpreting radiological images.
