Avinash Abhaya Government Medical College & Hospital, Chandigarh, India Squamous part of occipital bone consists of two parts: The upper interparietal and lower supraoccipital. The interparital part may remain separated from the supraoccipital by a suture, it is then called the interparietal or inca bone. Sometimes, the additional centres occurring in front of interparietal bone may fail to fuse and are called preinterparietal bones. The study includes observing the incidence, shapes of interparietal and preintraparietal bones in cadaveric dry human skulls. The observation showed 11/372 (0.29%) cases of abnormal presentation of skull bones near lambda, out of which 04/372 (0.0107%) show presence of preinterparietal bones while 07/372 (0.0188%) cases of interparietal bones. In 03/372 (0.0806%) cases there was a combination of both preinterparietal as well as interparietal bone. Interparietal bones of varying size and shapes are present. They may exist as a single bone, two symmetrical halves or in three to four pieces or even multiple, in which case the upper bones constitute the preinterparietal. The presence of anomaly can be explained on the basis of ossification of occipital bone and is considered as a nonmetric cranial variant and may be misinterpretated as a fracture of skull.

Occipitalisation is an uncommon skeletal variation of craniovertebral region. The literature review has shown that atlantooccipital fusion has embryological basis and cases with such cranio-vertebral variations may present with neurological signs and symptoms in 2nd decade of life and later. The styloid process is a bony projection that arises from the tympanic portion of the temporal bone, and its elongation is considered an anomaly that may be related to calcification of the stylohyoid and stylomandibular ligaments, which can trigger a series of symptoms that characterize the Eagle’s syndrome. During our study on 192 human skulls in Dept. of Anatomy, Forensic Medicine and Regional Medicolegal Institute, GMC Bhopal and Pt. JNMMC, Raipur, we found one cranium with occipitalisation and elongated styloid process. It shows incomplete occipitalisation, bifid posterior spine, left sided inclination of 6 mm with unilateral elongated styloid process on right side. Such rare incidental findings of skulls demands review on clinico-developmental aspects of the condition. Occipitalisation may be associated with narrowing of foramen magnum, compression of spinal cord or brain stem and accordingly present clinical manifestations such as myopathy, limitation of neck movements, muscular weakness and atrophy; and sensory loss which may be serious.
K. Jeelani Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, India Posterior condylar canal (PCC) is the largest emissary foramen of posterior cranial fossa. It transmits emissary vein from sigmoid sinus to vertebral vein between atlas and axis or between superior bulb of internal jugular vein and suboccipital venous plexus. The present study was done to observe anatomical variations in PCC and compare with already existing data. The present study was conducted on 112 dry adult human skulls from Department of Anatomy, MAMC, New Delhi to observe the presence, shape and patency of PCC along with presence of any septa or spur. PCC was present in 94 skulls (bilateral in 52.62% and unilateral in 31.22%) and absent in 18 skulls (16.07%). In case of unilateral PCC it was seen more commonly on the left side (54.34%). Double condylar canal were found unilaterally in 4 skulls (3.58%). Eight skulls had septations and two exhibited spurs in PCC. Shape of external opening of PCC was found to be oval in 40.96%, round in

linguistic, kinaesthetic, musical, interpersonal and intrapersonal. The study of dermatoglyphic pattern and their correlation with MI may serve the purpose of having an insight into an individuals’ multiple intelligence during early life which could be used later in developing their strength and weakness. Therefore, this study aims to observe and record the dermatoglyphic pattern and multiple intelligence in medical students of SMS & R, Sharda University and to find out if there is any correlation between these two parameters. To identify the multiple intelligence profile of student by using the questionnaire validated by Kirsi et al. (2013), Dermatoglyphic prints of students were taken using ‘Ink method by Cummin and Midlo’. The type of dermatoglyphic pattern on each digit of hand was identified with the help of a magnifying lens. We found that – (a) Students with linguistic MI had higher count of arches (11.1%) on right and left thumbs and radial loop on left middle and little fingers (11.1%). (b) Students with logical MI had more of whorl on right hand digits viz. index (76.2%), middle (81%) and little (81%). (c) Students with musical MI showed predominance of radial loops (4.5%) on left little finger. (d) Count of ulnar loop was higher on right index (62.5%) finger of students with spatial MI. (e) A higher total count of whorls was observed in student with logical MI (70.5%). Correlation was observed between certain types of multiple intelligences and dermal ridges of the hands.
The failure of the left anterior cardinal vein and common cardinal vein to obliterate during embryogenesis results in PLSVC. It may be associated with or without a right SVC. A 22-year old female patient presented with chief complaints of breathlessness, fever and weakness. On admission the patient had low blood pressure. Peripheral venous line could not be stabilized for i.v infusion so decision was made for Central Venous Catheterization and due to skin infection on right side of the neck,left side was approached and a left internal jugular venous catheter was placed successfully. A chest radiograph was taken immediately after insertion of central venous catheter. Findings of chest X-ray showed that the left internal jugular venous catheter followed a left paramediastinal course instead of crossing the midline to the right to enter the superior vena cava and was later confirmed by contrast enhanced CT Thorax. Awareness of this condition may be useful for pacemaker implantation and when placement of left-side transvenous subclavian or internal jugular catheters is required. Detailed anatomical knowledge of the great vessels of the neck and thorax is a prerequisite for safe anaesthetic and intensive care practice. Therefore, this study can be useful for intensivists and anesthesiologists through a brief review of the embryology behind the PLSVC. Conflicts of interest

Anatomical variations in origin of the arteries in abdominal area are very common. During routine dissection of cadavers allotted for 1st MBBS students, in a male cadaver an accessory renal artery was found on left side. Other structures at renal sinus on left side and on right side were found to be normal. The anatomical variations are important to know before any therapeutic or diagnostic procedures are performed in abdominal area. The clinical, surgical and radiological importance will be discussed in detail during presentation.
Normal variants in the bronchial anatomy are occasionally seen and consist of either displaced or supernumerary airways (Ghaye et al., 2001). Abnormalities include a common origin of the right upper and middle lobe bronchi; an accessory cardiac bronchus; and a right lower lobe bronchus that may arise from the left main stem bronchus. During dissection of a male cadaver of approximately 35 years of age, in the Department of Anatomy Gauhati Medical College, we found, right lung consists of an accessory lobe. These anatomical variants are largely asymptomatic, but occasionally may cause haemoptysis, recurrent infection and development of bronchiectasis of the airway.
