Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Marma Sharira is an ancient traumatological anatomy presented by both Sushruta and vaghbatta. Though the presentations are glossy similar, some differences particularly seen in retlation to classification are very remarkable. Sushruta has presented five types of Marmas on structural basis, whereas Vagbhatta by adding an extra Dhamani Marma has submitted the same into six types. Under the Dhamani which are nine, he has presented vidhura Marma, the alone Marma which belongs to head region the most dangerous region of the body prone for deadly injuries. It is considered as Snayu Marma by Sushruta and as Dhamani Marma by Vagbhata. Under atomical study assessing the injury effects on Vidhura Marma, it is observed that deafness is a reality on the ground of underlying structures, i.e. stylomastoid artery, facial nerve, mastoid air cells etc. The chance of deafness is due to the injury on stylomastoid artery rather than the facial nerve. We couldn’t find such structures which can be substantiallyconsidered as a Snayu but we find an artery which can be taken under the class Dhamani.
