39. A case of common thyrolinguofacial trunk – Branch of external carotid artery - In cadaver Vishnu Gupta ∗
41. Body donation by one single village for a Nobel cause (motivated by the dissection of a father’s embalmed body) Ramannavar Mahantesh ∗
Muzaffar Nagar Medical College, India Introduction: With increasing use of invasive diagnostic and interventional processor in cardio-vascular disease, it is important to find out type and frequencies of vascular variations. Anatomical knowledge of origin, course and branching pattern of external carotid artery will be useful to surgeon when ligating the vessels during head surgeries. Case Report: While doing the routine dissection for the undergraduate students in Muzaffarnagar Medical College, Muzaffarnagar in one female cadaver of about sixty years, common thyrolinguofacial trunk was found on left side. This case report, regarding the branches of external carotid artery may have importance not only for clinical anatomy, but also in the field of gross anatomy.
40. Bilaterally ossified stylohyoid ligamenteagle’s syndrome? – A case report Mundra Priyanka ∗ , S.S. Joshi, S.D. Joshi Department of Anatomy, Sri Aurobindo Medical College and P.G. Institute, Indore, India Introduction: The normal length of styloid process is approximately 25 mm and its tip is located between the external and internal carotid arteries, lateral to the pharyngeal wall and the tonsillar fossa. An elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament causes the styloid process syndrome with occasional pain in the neck, a feeling of a foreign body in the pharynx or some other form of retromandibular-cervical pain. PAIN remains the dominant symptom. Usually it is bilateral; the symptoms and disturbances may be frequently unilateral. Eagle’s syndrome: In 1937, Eagle first presented two cases with symptomatology of elongated styloid process. There are many synonyms, e.g., elongated styloid process syndrome, Stylohyoid syndrome, stilalgia, etc. Clinical Features: Patients are usually older than 40 years with symptoms of pain in the pharynx, presence of a foreign body sensation (fish bone) in the pharynx, Pain on swallowing, buzzing in the ears, headache in the area of the orbit, dizziness and flashing lights before eyes. A number of variations are described depending on morphology and calcification of styloid process and stylohyoid ligament. Observations: Age is approx. 65 years; male cadaver. Bilaterally the styloid process was elongated (Rt. - 3.15 cm, Lt.–2.9 cm). The stylohyoid ligament was ossified bilaterally measuring Rt. – 4.6 cm and Lt. – 5.1 cm and was connected to lesser cornu of hyoid by a fibrous band. Conclusion: Enlarged styloid process and an ossified stylohyoid ligament may remain asymptomatic or produce various symptoms of Eagle’s syndrome. The findings of the present case will be discussed in the light of the available literature.
K. L. E University’s Shri B.M.K Ayurvedic Medical College Belgaum, Karnataka, India Voluntary Body Donation is a programme wherein the general population can will their bodies to serve the purpose of medical education and for scientific studies. Motives behind the decision to become a body donor are influenced by factors, such as social awareness, cultural attitudes and perceptions of body donation, cultural attitudes and perceptions of death, religion, and perceptions of the body-mind relationship. One such social awareness is inspired and motivated by late Dr B.S.Ramannavar,a freedom fighter and well known Ayurvedic physician and dental specialist, after Sir William Harvey historical event created by Dr. Mahantesh Ramannavar on Nov 13th 2010 i.e. son dissecting father’s body at Belgaum and spritual leader of Rashtriya Basava Dala was found by the inspiration of Pujya Lingananda Swamiji’s. At present this motivation is becoming fruitful under the divine guidance of Pujya Maate Mahadevi, the first ever woman pontiff in the world. Setting a new precedent, 108 people, of Shagunsi Village, pledged their bodies to Dr. Ramannavar Charitable Trust, Bailhongal. Earlier, a single person of a family used to donate, now the trend has changed after this historical event, with entire family donating in mass their eye and body. Donors have come from Munavali, Mahalingapur Harugere, Raybag, GokakBailhongal, etc., in and around Belgaum district, and also other districts of Karnataka.
42. A study on the anatomy of the ear ossicles Saikia Mrinmoy ∗ , Baro Baneswar, K.L. Talukdar Department of Anatomy, Gauhati Medical College, Guwahati, India Objective: A study on the anatomy of the ear ossicles. Method: The three ear ossicles, i.e., Malleus, Incus and stapes were obtained from a cadaver in the Department of Anatomy, Gauhati Medical College. Result: Malleus:- Largest of the ear ossicles (8–9 mm). Parts: a) Head, b) Neck, c) Manubrium, d) Anterior and lateral processes. The Malleus articulates posteriorly with Incus and is covered with mucosa elsewhere. Incus:- Parts: a) Body, b) Two processes – anterior and posterior. The body has an anterior facet for articulation with the head of malleus. Stapes:- Parts: a) Head, b) Neck, c) Two limbs, d) Base. The tendon of Stapedius is attached to the posterior aspect of the neck of stapes. Articulations: The incudomalleolar joint is a saddle-shaped synovial joint. The incudostapedial joint is a ball and socket type of synovial joint. Conclusion: These ear ossicles help to modify the sound wave from the environment, which enters through external ear. Without intact and normal anatomical ear ossicles, normal hearing would have been hampered. Moreover, as the
