ABSTRACT
Authors paid attention to anatomy and clinical implications which are associated with the variations of the sphenoid sinus. We discuss also anatomical structure of the sphenoid bone implementing clinical application of this bone to different invasive and miniinvasive procedures (i.e. FESS).

Autonomic nervous system of the pelvis is still poorly understood. Every year more and more pelvic procedures are carried out on patients suffering from different pelvic disorders what leads to numerous pelvic dysfunctions. Authors tried to review, starting from historical and clinical background, the most important reports on anatomy of the pelvic autonomic plexuses. We also pay attention to complete lack of knowledge of students of medicine on the autonomic nervous structures in the area studied. We present anatomical description of the pelvic plexuses including their visceral branches and anatomy of surrounding pelvic tissues which still remains unclear. More and more attention is paid to the topography of the plexuses specially because of new pain releasing techniques - neurolysies.

Celiac artery (trunk) is one of the three major arteries which arise from abdominal aorta. It's variations not seem to be very uncommon. A routine dissection of a male cadaver at Department of Anatomy Jagiellonian University revealed unusual branching pattern of the celiac trunk with numerous supernumerary hepatic arteries. Additionally unusual venous drainage of the adrenal glands was found. A review of current literature has shown that a changed branching pattern may be important from clinical point of view, with special respect to endovascular procedures, laparoscopic surgery or radiology.

Ludwik Karol Teichmann was the last of gross anatomists. His magnificent work on the lymphatic system gained him appreciation of the whole current scientific world. Based on the unpublished materials authors wanted to commemorate one of the greatest Polish and world anatomists with special regard to coming soon 150th anniversary of Theatrum Anatomicum of Jagiellonian University Medical College.
