“…According to other authors, all structures of the VNO regress except the vomeronasal duct (Witt and Wozniak 2006), so the importance of this structure in human development may be questionable. Mladina et al (2017) hypothesized that VNO could be the source of pneumatization of the nasal septum during human development. The orifice of the vomeronasal duct can be observed in about 2/3 of the population at the junction between the cartilaginous septum and the vomer, 2 cm from the nares (visible as an invagination of the nasal mucosa).…”

Zoological terms in the human histological nomenclature Terminologia Histologica. What we think, what we know, and what we think we know

Terminology in morphological and zoological sciences is enormously important. Proper denomination of individual structures of the animal / human body from the microscopic point of view has an irreplaceable role in unambiguous understanding and communication among scientists regardless of their field of expertise. The year 2008 can be considered a crucial year in the developing of internationally accepted histological terminology, because it was the year when the first internationally renowned human histology nomenclature Terminologia Histologica was published. The current version of the Terminologia Histologica contains also the description of many microscopic organs and structures whose presence in different animal species is widely accepted, however their presence in humans is disputable. Typical examples are the haemal lymph nodes and haemal nodes, mentioned in the chapter Lymphoid organs which are secondary lymphoid organs found in many different mammalian species, but also in some birds. They are capable of performing haematopoietic and immunological functions but in the absence of lymphatic system pathology, no structures resembling haemal nodes / haemal lymph nodes have been detected in humans. Neurohaemal organs are mentioned within the chapter Endocrine system. Neurohaemal organs are known by different names, depending on the animal species studied, e.g. corpora allata or abdominal perisympathetic organs. To this date, these structures have been described in many different invertebrate species, but neurohaemal organs are also found in some lower vertebrates, in which the neurohaemal organ is referred to as "urophysis". According to our opinion, structures called neurohaemal organs in invertebrates are counterparts to circumventricular organs found in vertebrates, but cannot be named as such. Another somewhat controversial term mentioned in human histological nomenclature is the vomeronasal organ mentioned in the chapter Respiratory system. It is a specialized organ, which forms an integral supportive part of the olfaction of many mammalian species and reptiles. It is believed that the main function of vomeronasal organ is to regulate various behavioral aspects of intraspecies interaction by facilitating the detection of pheromones. The function and even existence of the vomeronasal organ in humans is a source of significant dispute among researchers. Some of them stated that vomeronasal organ disappears during fetal development, with except the vomeronasal duct. On the other hand, there are also authors who concluded that the vomeronasal organ is definitely present in adult humans. Similarly disputable question is the presence of multinucleated plasmodia in human body. This opinion article aims to open a wide scientific discussion concerning the importance and aptness of the inclusion of these terms in the human histological nomenclature despite they are probably exclusively zoological.

Herniations of the brain and/or meninges through an opening of the skull often occur through the foramen magnum, e.g., Chiari malformations and encephaloceles. The herniation of brain matter through the cribriform plate is a rare incident and has not been reported frequently. The presence of such an occurrence still requires attention and anatomical understanding. This review will examine the potential causes of cribriform plate herniation and its distinguishability to nasal encephaloceles. The sloping of brain tissue toward potential space/opening in response to elevated pressures in the cranium to accommodate for the added pressure are features seen in herniation. The presence of a pedicle and stalk seen in an encephalocele define its characteristics, which are not visible in a ‘classical’ herniation. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula commonly occurs at the cribriform plate, and due to the structural weakness, a pathway is formed. This is often seen in conjunction with meningoceles. Delineating between herniation and encephaloceles is important for both clinicians and neurosurgeons.

Osteomas são tumores benignos, tem comportamento clínico variavel, mas normalmente exibe crescimento lento e assintomático, sendo muitas vezes diagnosticados apenas em exames radiográficos de rotina. Na variante endosteal pode encontrar-se centralmente ou dentro dos seios paranasais, sendo mais comum no seio frontal, seguido pelo etmoide, maxilar e esfenoidal. O objetivo desse trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de osteoma que acometeu o seio maxilar, e revisar os principais aspectos relacionados ao seu diagnóstico e tratamento.
