Where variations are most important: How to teach human anatomy to medical students
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomical Variations - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
There are many major or minor variations in human gross anatomy, which can significantly affect the outcome of medical procedures, or quite often can cause different conditions in patients. Maybe „corona mortis” (the crown of death) is the most well-known variation, which is being taught to medical students. Since diagnostic imaging and surgical technique is rapidly evolving, anatomy should also be updated, and kept up-to-date with these things.

A thickening of the frontal bones characterizes Hyperostosis frontalis interna. This condition is found typically postmortem in post-menopausal women who undergo cadaveric dissection. Live patients commonly are asymptoma...
Multiple variations in vertebrobasilar system: A cadaveric study
The intracranial parts of the vertebral arteries (VAs), basilar artery (BA) and their branches together form the vertebrobasilar system (VBS). Numerous anomalies have been seen in VBS, which are usually benign. Many auth...

Right and left additional single renal arteries and additional two right renal veins were observed in a female cadaver. Additional arteries arose from the abdominal aorta and entered kidney at inferior borders of renal h...
Variation of posterior deltoid muscle
During a routine dissection, bilateral posterior variants of the deltoid muscle, with an interesting orientation of muscle fibers, was discovered on a 78-year-old female cadaver. These variants show an almost perpendicul...
Morphological study on mitral valve chordae tendineae in the hearts of human fetuses
BACKGROUND: Mitral valve chordae tendineae (CTs) are filaments of connective tissue that attach the mitral valves to the papillary muscles, which contract and cause tension on these chordae, so as not to allow separation...
