“…Communications between TCCN and the GAN as well as some cranial nerves usually exist and are reported in the past [1,3,4]. Biglioli et al [5] have been reported an anastomosis between the TCCN and anterior branch of GAN.…”

“…TCCN and GAN commonly communicate with the CB of facial nerve [1,4]. TCCN usually divides into ascending and descending branches, the ascending branch forms plexus with the cervical branch, deep to platysma muscle in the submandibular region [1]. Domet et al [7] have demonstrated the presence of anastomoses between the CB of facial nerve and TCCN in 22 adult neck halves (11 cadavers).…”

“…Kim et al have been identified an anatomical variation of close relation between the TCCN and GAN as they were emerging from the paravertebral fascia [6]. TCCN and GAN commonly communicate with the CB of facial nerve [1,4]. TCCN usually divides into ascending and descending branches, the ascending branch forms plexus with the cervical branch, deep to platysma muscle in the submandibular region [1].…”

“…It crosses the anterior border of the muscle and perforates the deep cervical fascia before dividing into ascending and descending branches. The ascending branch supplies the skin of upper anterior areas of neck after piercing the platysma while the descending branch supplies anterolaterally to the skin of neck till the level of sternum [1]. Anastomoses between the TCCN and the cervical branch [CB] of facial nerve are regularly present [2].…”

Case ReportDuring routine dissection classes to first year medical students, we came across an anatomical variation of superior division of TCCN, in the Department of Anatomy, Melaka Manipal Medical College, Manipal University, Manipal. The variation was observed in an adult male cadaver. The terminal branches of TCCN and CB of facial nerve were traced carefully. The appropriate photograph was taken (Figure 1). Results * AbstractAnastomoses between the transverse cervical cutaneous nerve and the cervical branch of facial nerve are regularly present. The anatomic locations of these anastomoses were poorly documented in the literature. During regular dissection, we came across two of such anastomoses: one of the two anastomoses was identified posterior to submandibular gland, and the other was noted within the parenchyma of the parotid gland. Prior knowledge of anatomic locations of these anastomoses is clinically important as it allows a method for identification and preservation of the cervical branch of the facial nerve as well as a starting point for retrograde facial nerve dissections. In addition, few terminal nerve endings of transverse cervical cutaneous nerve were seen along the retromandibular vein, ducts and some were penetrating the interlobular septa of parotid gland. The functional significance of anatomic variations of its nerve terminal ends deep in the gland is yet to be evaluated. Communications of Transverse Cervical Cutaneous

“…Pterion is defined as an H-shaped sutural junction formed by the meeting of four bones: frontal, parietal, temporal and sphenoid on norma lateralis of the skull [1]. The pterion was first classified into three types (Sphenoparietal, frontotemporal and stellate) by Broca in 1875.…”

Aim: To study the incidence of epipteric bones in the region of pterion in human skulls. Results: Out of 100 skulls, epipteric bones were seen in the region of pterion in 24 skulls. Bilateral occurrence was noted in 8 skulls and unilateral occurrence was seen in the remaining 16 skulls. Among the unilateral occurrence, 6 were seen on the right side and 10 were seen on the left side. Conclusion:In conclusion, identification of the occurrence of epipteric bones at the site of pterion is important as they may be confused for fractures. Also, presence of epipteric bones may lead to complications in making burr holes at the pterion.
