We present a case of duplication of the pituitary gland with associated clefts of the hard palate and body of the sphenoid and a midline palatine dermoid. This is an extremely rare malformation with only six previous case reports in the literature. Imaging findings are discussed and literature reviewed for possible morphogenesis, including its association with partial twinning and midline cleft face syndrome.
INTRODUCTION: radius is situated on the outer aspect of the forearm. Its anterior surface shows presence of nutrient canal transmitting nutrient artery. Nutrient artery is the major blood supply of long bone mainly during the growing period and early phase of ossification. AIM AND OBJECTIVES: Nutrient arterial supply is also essential for survival of osteocytes in procedures such as bone grafts. Location, number and position of nutrient foramen play an important role in academic, clinical as well as surgical cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was conducted in anatomy department, with the aim of Morphometric study of nutrient foramina of human radii. 200 human radii were studied at anatomy departments of SMT.NHLMMC, BJ medical college, Ahmedabad and Govt. Medical College Baroda. Observation and discussion: out of 200 human radii, in 197 radii there was single nutrient foramen on each radius and foraminal index was indicating that its position was near the upper end of radius. CONCLUSION: as per results of foraminal index, nutrient foramen in radius was located nearer to the upper end as compared to the lower end pointing towards the elbow. So the lower end of the radius is the growing end.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
