Morphological Variation of Fissure and Lobe of the Left Lung: A Case Report - - - Morfološka varijacija fisure i režnja levog plućnog krila: prikaz slučaja
Journal Title: Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis - Year 2016, Vol 33, Issue 4
Abstract
The left lung usually has an oblique fissure that divides it into superior and inferior lobes. Some variants in the lobar fissure are well known, but the knowledge of certain uncommon variants will enhance our anatomical understanding and proper identification of the bronchopulmonary segments. Several imaging techniques have been used to describe anatomical variations of the lung, but studies that utilize dissections as tools for understanding lobar variations were limited. In this report, we described an incomplete horizontal fissure, bifurcated accessory fissure, incomplete superior and middle lobes, and fibrous condensation of the left lung pulmonary pleura observed during dissection. The knowledge of these anatomical variations will be useful in surgical segmental resection and lobectomy, and for accurate interpretations of medical diagnostic images. - - - U levom plućnom krilu se obično nalazi kosa fisura koja ga deli na gornji i donji režanj. Pojedine varijante lobarnih fisura su već poznate, što samo nadgrađuje naše poznavanje anatomije i utiče na pravilnu identifikaciju bronhopulmonalnih segmenata. Do sada je za opisivanje anatomskih varijacija pluća primenjeno nekoliko radioloških metoda, dok je broj studija u kojima je primenjivana disekcija kako bi se bolje razumele lobarne varijacije ograničen. U ovom prikazu slučaja opisali smo nekompletnu horizontalnu fisuru, granatu aksesornu fisuru, nekompletni gornji i srednji režanj, kao i fibroznu kondenzaciju pleure levog plućnog krila uočenu u toku disekcije. Poznavanje ovih anatomskih varijacija će biti od koristi kod hirurških segmentnih resekcija i lobektomija, kao i za tačnu interpretaciju medicinskih dijagnostičkih tehnika.
