  • occurrence of three headed sternocleidomastoid muscle and a common thyro linguo facial Vein a case report
    2015
    Co-Authors: Gayathri Prabhu, Prakashchandra Shetty, Deepthinath Reghunathan, Satheesha B Nayak, A M Prasad
    Abstract:

    Variant anatomy of muscles and Veins of the neck is of importance to plastic surgeons, radiologists and general surgeons. We report the variations of ternocleidomastoid muscle and Veins of the neck in the present article. Right sternocleidomastoid muscle had three heads of origin. The third head took its origin from the clavicle just lateral to the usual clavicular head. All the three heads were about 4 inches long and united with each other at the level of thyroid cartilage. There was no external jugular Vein on the right side. The Retromandibular Vein united with facial Vein to form common facial Vein. Common facial Vein joined with superior thyroid and lingual Veins to form a thyro-linguo-facial trunk one inch below the angle of mandible. This trunk was about 2 inches long and terminated into the internal jugular Vein. Knowledge of this case could be useful while raising a sternocleidomastoid flap, administering anesthesia to brachial plexus, neck surgeries and carotid endarterectomy.

  • Absence of Retromandibular Vein associated with atypical formation of external jugular Vein in the parotid region.
    Anatomy & cell biology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Jyothsna Patil, Ravindra S Swamy, Naveen Kumar, Melanie Rose D'souza, Anitha Guru, Satheesha B Nayak
    Abstract:

    Veins of the head and neck exhibiting anatomical variations or malformations are clinically significant. Anatomical variation in the external jugular Vein is very common. However, anatomical variation in the Retromandibular Vein is rare. In this paper, we report a rare case of complete absence of the Retromandibular Vein. In the absence of the Retromandibular Vein, the maxillary Vein divided into anterior and posterior divisions. The posterior division joined the superficial temporal Vein to form an atypical external jugular Vein, and the anterior division joined the facial Vein to form an anonymous Vein. In clinical practice, radiologists and surgeons use the Retromandibular Vein as a guide to expose the branches of the facial nerve during superficial parotidectomy. Therefore, absence of the Retromandibular Vein is a hurdle during this procedure and may affect the venous drainage pattern from the head and neck.

  • an unusual termination of facial Vein and anterior division of Retromandibular Vein into external jugular Vein a case report
    2014
    Co-Authors: Jyothsna Patil, S N Somayaji, L. S. Ashwini, Naveen Kumar, Satheesha B Nayak
    Abstract:

    Facial Vein, being the largest Vein of the face forms the common facial Vein after joining with the anterior division of Retromandibular Vein below the angle of the mandible. Usually, it drains into the internal jugular Vein. During routine dissection of head and neck region of a male cadaver, aged approximately 50 years, an unusual pattern in the termination of Veins on the left side of the neck was observed. The formation, course and termination of external jugular Vein were normal. The anterior division of Retromandibular Vein joined with external jugular Vein about 5 cm above the clavicle and the facial Vein opened into the external jugular Vein about 2.5 cm above the clavicle. In addition, there was a thin venous communication between anterior division of Retromandibular Vein and external jugular Vein. The superficial Veins of the neck are often used for cannulation; either for intravenous infusion or for central venous pressure monitoring. Furthermore, these venous segments are used as a patch for carotid endarterectomies. Hence, a thorough knowledge of the normal anatomy and their variations may be useful for performing these procedures.

  • an unusually looped common facial Vein associated with low formation of external jugular Vein
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND SURGICAL ADVANCES, 2014
    Co-Authors: P Abhinitha, Swamy S Ravindra, Ashwini P Aithal, Naveen Kumar, Satheesha B Nayak, Jyothsna Patil
    Abstract:

    Aberrant venous pattern of the face and neck are quite common. During routine dissection of the left side of the neck in about 60 year old male cadaver, we observed the peculiarly looped course of the common facial Vein in the submandibular region before its termination into the internal jugular Vein. In addition, there was abnormally low formation of external jugular Vein by the union of posterior division of Retromandibular Vein and the communicating venous channel from the anterior division of Retromandibular Vein about 2.5cm below the apex of parotid gland. The knowledge of various combination of variant venous pattern in the neck is important for clinical practitioners who perform venegraft during endarterectomy. Superficial Veins of the neck are frequently chosen for cannulation during intravenous infusion or in monitoring the central venous pressure, their unusual pattern possibly hinder these approaches.

  • the role of echo colour power doppler and magnetic resonance in expansive parotid lesions
    Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2004
    Co-Authors: Luciano Izzo, P G Sassayannis, Riccardo Frati, Alessandro Stasolla, H Alradhi, Maria Clementina Caputo, U Costi, R Gabriele, Daniele Biacchi, Raffaele Guerrisi
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this research was to evaluate the role of Echo Colour /Power Doppler and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of expansive parotid lesions, and to establish criteria for differential diagnosis between benign and malignant forms. Forty nine patients (23 males and 26 females), aging from 30 to 85 years, with an expansive pathology of parotid gland were enrolled in our study from February 1999 through August 2004. Each patient was carefully assessed employing both ultrasonography integrated with Color/Power Doppler and MRI. Eventually, all patients received echo-guided needle-biopsy and surgical excision of the parotid lesion. Preliminary ultrasound assessed site, size, echoic appearance and margins of the lesion. In order to assess blood supply by means of Colour/Power Doppler, we divided the patients in four groups. Our MRI diagnostic criteria included site, size, intensity of signal, behaviour of the lesion after i.v. contrast, relationship with facial nerve and Retromandibular Vein, detection of margins and proximity to adjacent structures. On the basis of our results, the Authors concluded that both Echo Colour/Power Doppler and MRI play a very important role in the diagnosis and surgical planning of parotid gland lesions.

  • absence of the external jugular Vein and an abnormal drainage pattern in the Veins of the neck
    OA Anatomy, 2013
    Co-Authors: P Abhinitha, Swamy S Ravindra, Naveen Kumar, Satheesha B Nayak, P A Aithal
    Abstract:

    Introduction: The knowledge of variations of Veins of head and neck is of clinical importance. The aim of this report was to discuss the absence of the external jugular Vein (EJV) and an abnormal drainage pattern in the Veins of the neck. Case report: During routine dissection of the head and neck region, a unilateral variation in the formation and drainage pattern of Veins was seen on the left side of an approximately 60-year-old male cadaver. The anterior division of the Retromandibular Vein joined the facial Vein to form the common facial Vein, which drained into the anterior jugular Vein instead of the internal jugular Vein. The posterior division of the Retromandibular Vein drained directly into the internal jugular Vein. The Retromandibular Vein was unusually wide in calibre, and there was total absence of EJV. Since the EJV is frequently used for central venous cannulation as well as often examined by clinicians to assess the venous pressure in the right atrium, its absence may mislead the clinicians during these approaches. So the knowledge of variations in Veins of head and neck is important for surgeons during head and neck surgery as well as for radiologists during catheterization and for clinicians in general. Conclusion: Absence of EJV and the abnormal pattern of drainage of Veins in the neck reported here are very rare. Awareness of these venous variations is vital for the surgeons to avoid any intraoperative trial or error during surgical procedures and to prevent unnecessary bleeding.

    Abstract:

    SUMMARY: During routine dissection of head and neck, an unusual drainage in pattern of the Veins on the left side of the face was observed in an adult male cadaver. In the present case, he superficial temporal Vein united with maxillary Vein to form Retromandibular Vein within the substance of the left parotid gland. The anterior division of Retromandibular Vein joined with facial Vein to form common facial Vein that drained into left subclavian Vein directly. Knowledge of such variations is important for surgeons performing head and neck surgeries. Facial Veins are often grafted into carotid endarterectomy

  • termination of the facial Vein into the external jugular Vein an anatomical variation
    Jornal Vascular Brasileiro, 2008
    Co-Authors: Suhani Sumalatha Dsilva, Thejodhar Pulakunta, Bhagath Kumar Potu
    Abstract:

    Different patterns of variations in the venous drainage have been observed in the past. During routine dissection in our Department of Anatomy, an unusual drainage pattern of the Veins of the left side of the face of a middle aged cadaver was observed. The facial Vein presented a normal course from its origin up to the base of mandible, and then it crossed the base of mandible posteriorly to the facial artery. Thereafter, it joined with the anterior division of Retromandibular Vein to form the common facial Vein, which drained into the external jugular Vein directly. Sound anatomic knowledge of the above variation in facial Veins is essential to the success of surgical procedures in this region.
