The free edge of the left pouch opening contains the inferior mesenteric artery and vein and the left colic artery. (nigerianjsurg.com)
The pouch had a 5-7 cm defect to the left of the duodenum along an avascular plane with vessels superior and inferior [Figure 1] . (nigerianjsurg.com)
A small ventral bud (pouch) forms the lower (inferior) part of the head and the uncinate process of pancreas, whereas a large dorsal bud (pouch) forms the upper (superior) part of the head as well as the body and tail of the pancreas. (medscape.com)
The pancreas is prismoid in shape and appears triangular in cut section with superior, inferior, and anterior borders as well as anterosuperior, anteroinferior, and posterior surfaces. (medscape.com)
The transverse mesocolon (with the middle colic vessels in it) is attached to the anterior surface of the lower (inferior) part of body and tail-most of the gland is thus located in the supracolic compartment. (medscape.com)
Intravenous contrast is not necessary for investigation of uncomplicated renal colic and evaluation of most osseous abnormalities. (radiologykey.com)
Arch of th3
From what has already been said, with reference to the branches of the arch of the aorta, it will be noted that the innominate artery may be absent. (co.ma)
When the right common carotid artery arises separately from the arch of the aorta, it may be the first, or, much more rarely, the second branch. (co.ma)
The external carotid artery may be absent, or it may, in rare cases, arise directly from the arch of the aorta. (co.ma)
Arterial3
The article is an overview of the arterial system and specific arteries are discussed separately in detail. (medcaretips.com)
E. The arterial arcade created by communicating vessels at 1 to 2 cm. from the mesenteric is called the artery of Drummond. (latestinterviewquestions.com)
Imaging in the arterial phase can be performed to evaluate mesenteric ischemia, aortic dissection, or aneurysm, and can also be used to improve visualization of the pancreas in patients with upper abdominal pain. (radiologykey.com)
Aortic6
not uncommonly, and apparently because of the fusion of the ventral roots of the fourth aortic arches, it arises from a stem common to it and to the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries. (co.ma)
The first right aortic intercostal artery frequently gives off the right bronchial artery. (co.ma)
In addition to the secondary branches above-named, the trunk of the first aortic intercostal, on each side, anastomoses with the superior intercostal, and may supply the whole or the greater part of the second intercostal space. (co.ma)
The upper three or four aortic intercostal arteries, on each side, give branches to the mammary gland which anastomose with branches of the lateral thoracic and internal mammary arteries. (co.ma)
They are in series with the aortic intercostal arteries, but are situated below the last ribs. (co.ma)
Each gives off a posterior branch which behaves in the same manner as the posterior branch of an ordinary aortic intercostal artery. (co.ma)
Biliary colic2
In contrast to other types of colic, biliary colic typically is constant, with pain progressively rising to a plateau and falling gradually, lasting up to several hours. (tripod.com)
For nontraumatic abdominal emergencies, ultrasound is used to investigate biliary colic, pelvic pain in women, scrotal pathology in men, suspected appendicitis or intussusception in children, and lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis. (radiologykey.com)
Vessels6
Arteries are the large vessels that carry blood away from the heart. (medcaretips.com)
The arteries further give off branches which further divide into smaller branches called arterioles which in their turn open into a close-meshed network of microscopic vessels, termed capillaries. (medcaretips.com)
it is of varying size and is wedged between the superior mesenteric vessels (vein on right, and artery on left) in front and the aorta behind it. (medscape.com)
Computed tomography scan of the uncinate process of the pancreas (*) behind the superior mesenteric vessels (arrow). (medscape.com)
The hepatic, splenic, and left gastric arteries may arise directly from the aorta, a condition which is due to the retention of a greater number of the splanchnic arteries than usual A double superior mesenteric artery results from the persistence of both the right and left splanchnic vessels from which the superior mesenteric artery is formed, these remaining separate instead of fusing together. (co.ma)
They are small vessels which ramify on the upper and posterior surfaces of the diaphragm, and anastomose with branches of the pericardiaco-phrenic and musculo-phrenic arteries. (co.ma)
Aorta5
Systemic arteries have a common trunk - the aorta which receives blood from the left ventricle. (medcaretips.com)
Throughout main arteries emerge from the aorta to supply different regions of the body and further branch for a wider reach. (medcaretips.com)
As a consequence of such modifications in length, the origins of the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries may be situated at a higher or lower level than usual, whilst, in the absence of the innominate artery, both these branches may arise directly from the aorta. (co.ma)
2. The subcostal arteries are the last pair of parietal branches given off from the thoracic aorta. (co.ma)
3. Superior phrenic branches are given off from the lower part of the thoracic aorta. (co.ma)
Vein2
Computed tomography (CT) scan showing the pancreas head (*) and the superior mesenteric artery (black arrow) and vein (white arrow). (medscape.com)
costal groove the artery lies between the corresponding vein above and the intercostal nerve below, and it terminates anteriorly by anastomosing with an anterior intercostal branch of the internal mammary or of the musculo-phrenic artery. (co.ma)
Visceral1
All the other variations are the results of the obliteration of the usual channels, combined with the enlargement of anastomoses which exist both between the splanchnic arteries of adjacent segments and between the splanchnic and intermediate visceral arteries. (co.ma)
Phrenic1
It descends and runs forward along the lower border of the intercostal space, to anastomose in front with an anterior intercostal branch of the internal mammary or musculo-phrenic artery. (co.ma)
Subcostal1
The lower two intercostal arteries, on each side, extend beyond their spaces into the abdominal wall, and anastomose with branches of the superior epigastric, subcostal, and lumbar arteries. (co.ma)
Hernias1
These hernias arise from malrotation of the mid-gut resulting in the formation of abnormal mesenteric pouches into which loops of small intestines can lodge. (nigerianjsurg.com)
Abdominal pain2
Patients with a long history of recurrent abdominal pain and who on imaging were found to have a diffusely thickened gall bladder wall, with cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis and submucosal hypoattenuated nodules were likely to have XGC while those with anorexia,weight loss,focal thickening of the gallbladder wall on imaging and dense local organ infiltration were more likely to have GBC.

Posterior4
One or more of the branches usually derived from the external carotid artery may arise from it, and it sometimes gives off a large meningeal branch to the posterior fossa of the skull. (co.ma)
a) The posterior branch passes backwards, accompanied by the posterior branch of a spinal nerve, medial to the anterior superior costo-transverse ligament, between the necks of the ribs which bound the space, and between the adjacent transverse processes, to the vertebral groove, where it divides into a medial and a lateral cutaneous terminal branch. (co.ma)
they pierce the dura mater and arachnoid, and divide into branches some of which pass to the membranes of the spinal medulla, whilst others are continued on to reinforce the posterior and anterior spinal arteries. (co.ma)
Longitudinal anastomoses between adjacent trunks and also between adjacent posterior branches of intercostal arteries sometimes exist near the necks of the ribs, or near the transverse processes. (co.ma)
Opposite the lower border of L4 [fourth lumbar vertebra], it divides into dividing into the right and left common iliac arteries. (medcaretips.com)
It next pierces the aponeurosis of origin of the transversus abdominis, and runs between the transversus and the internal oblique muscles, anastomosing with the lower intercostal arteries, with the lumbar arteries, and with branches of the superior epigastric artery. (co.ma)
occasionally it is absent, being replaced by branches of the superior mesenteric, and sometimes, as in ruminants and some rodents, its left colic branch does not anastomose with the middle colic artery. (co.ma)
Arises1
The pulmonary trunk is a vessel that arises from the right ventricle of the heart, extends upward, and divides into the right and left pulmonary arteries that carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs. (medcaretips.com)
Divides1
At the level of the upper border of the thyroid cartilage, where it divides into the external and internal carotid arteries. (medcaretips.com)
Branches given off1
The branches given off by the innominate artery may be increased in number, or the innominate may vary from the normal only as regards length. (co.ma)
Many chronic ulcers, on the other hand, may exist for years without progressing so far in depth as to implicate the serosa, although no chronic ulcers with severe and persistent symptoms or recurrent or calloused ulcers are ever exempt from the potential danger of a perforation. (pediagenosis.com)
Carcinoma1
Objectives: Complete en-bloc resection of pedunculated colorectal carcinoma is necessary for a proper pathological diagnosis. (bvsalud.org)
Passes1
Each artery passes obliquely upward, from behind the sternoclavicular articulation. (medcaretips.com)
Reinforce1
In their distributions, the arteries may communicate by forming the anastomosis, often to reinforce or enrich the circulation of a particular region. (medcaretips.com)
The number of its branches may be diminished either by fusion of their roots or by transference to the internal or common carotid arteries. (co.ma)
more particularly is this the case with the internal maxillary artery, which may pass either between the heads, or entirely lateral or medial to both heads of the external pterygoid muscle. (co.ma)
External1
thus, the sterno-mastoid artery, the hyoid branch usually given off by the superior thyreoid artery, or the ascending palatine branch of the external maxillary, may arise from it. (co.ma)
Large1
However, due to poor visibility, large pedunculated colorectal carcinomas are difficult to snare and resect en-bloc using endoscopic resection or polypectomy. (bvsalud.org)
