“…Based on the above-stated definitions, hypotheses, and facts, it is necessary to continue research concerning the prevalence and classification of anatomical variants and refine the associated nomenclature. Without unanimous and simple variant nomenclature, communication among anatomists, clinicians, students, and teachers will continue to be confused [ 125 , 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 , 132 , 133 , 134 , 135 , 136 , 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 ].…”

Variant anatomy, which is an integral part of anatomical science, is related to abnormalities in the human body structure. Our understanding of variant anatomy is based on thousand years of anatomical experience. These abnormalities generally do not interfere with the function of the human body and do not typically manifest as pathological nosological units. However, under certain conditions, these abnormalities can worsen existing pathological states or even evoke new ones. Understanding variant anatomy is a basic skill not only of mere anatomists, but also of clinicians who work in fields involving both diagnostic techniques and therapeutic interventions. To gain and retain a good knowledge of the most frequent and clinically relevant anatomical variations, a simple, clear, and exactly defined nomenclature of variant structures is needed. A list of items comprising variant anatomy, which have been incorporated into the internationally accepted nomenclatures Terminologia Anatomica (1998) and Terminologia Neuroanatomica (2017), is described and analyzed. Examples of the most common anatomical variations related to terminology are mentioned, and variant anatomy as a whole and its role in understanding current anatomy are discussed.

The venous perforators of the lower limb – A new terminology

Latin anatomical terminology of venous perforators (communications between superficial and deep venous systems of the lower limb) was adopted as late as 2001 as an appendix to the official nomenclature following the clinicians’ request. Terminologia Anatomica, last version of the Latin anatomical nomenclature, published in 1998, unfortunately contains no terms concerning these veins. During the 14th World Congress of the International Union of Phlebology, a consensus document was laid to expand the nomenclature of the lower limb veins, above all 36 new terms for perforators of the lower limb, both in Latin and English languages. This consensus document will be incorporated in the next version of the Terminologia Anatomica. But there are more constant and well-described ones, especially in the foot, and this article reviews in particular the current knowledge on the anatomy of the venous perforators of the whole lower limb.

“…Their terminology should match the nervous counterparts, i.e. plexus vasculosus myentericus located between the stratum longitudinale and stratum circulare tunicae muscularis and plexus vasculosus submucosus located with the submucosa [ 3 , 51 ]. Rami retroperitoneales anteriores* are direct fine branches from the aorta abdominalis , the arteria renalis and the arteria renalis accessoria , the arteria testicularis or the arteria ovarica , and the arteria iliaca communis .…”

“…We have also repetitively stressed the importance of anatomical nomenclature in enabling clear, unanimous and unambiguous communication among specialists. All revised or newly proposed terms to be potentially incorporated into the only official valid version of the anatomical nomenclature called Terminologia Anatomica (TA) are summarized in these articles [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”

“…This article is the fourth and last part of a series aimed at extending and correcting the anatomical nomenclature. It closes a set of contributions to extent and revise the technical norm for naming morphological structures of the human body in relation to the anatomical nomenclature of the nervous system and senses [ 1 ], locomotor system [ 2 ], and organs [ 3 ]. All the general statements and discussions concerning the history, grammar, and clinical relevance of the anatomical nomenclature and terminology are parts of our previous set of articles.…”

This article is the fourth and last part of a series aimed at extending and correcting the anatomical nomenclature. Because of the rapid development of internet and the use of electronic formats in communication in anatomy, embryology, histology, medical education and clinical medicine, an appropriate, precise and concise anatomical nomenclature is required. Such tool enables to avoid any potential confusion and possible scientific/medical mistakes. The up-to-date official anatomical terminology, Terminologia Anatomica, is available longer than 20 years and needs to be refined and extended. The authors have collected and listed 210 terms and completed them with definitions and/or explanations. We aimed to start a discussion about their potential incorporation into the new revised version of the Terminologia Anatomica. This article is primarily focused on the vessels of the human body (arteries, veins and lymphatic system).
