Editor’s Note
Journal Title: National Journal of Clinical Anatomy - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The first issue of the journal was released in the year 2012 by the then editor-in-chief, Dr. Muthukumaravel. He dedicated his 5 years of hard work in bringing out the journal without a break. I am grateful for his initiation and inspired by his confidence in bringing out this journal to this extent. The content of the journal focuses mainly on original articles related to the field of clinical anatomy. The articles that further enhance the existing clinical knowledge are given top priority rather than the well-known morphological data. We accept case reports hitherto unreported elsewhere which would further enhance the knowledge of the readers.
