Abstract
PERSISTENT MEDIAN ARTERY: An anatomical study in neonatal cadavers and comparison with adults
Fiftysix upper limbs from 20 neonatal and 8 adult cadavers from the local population of Samsun were dissected in order to study the frequency of the presence of the median ar¬tery. Also the dissection findings of 27 adult cadavers which are used for educational pur¬poses were recorded for comparison. Association of the median artery with the median nerve was evaluated histologically.
The median artery was not present in adult cadavers. In 5 (12.5%) forearms of neonatal cadavers, the persistent median artery which joined the superficial palmar arch was pre¬sent. In 4 of these cases the persistent median artery arose from the ulnar artery (4/5 of the cases with persistent median artery) and in 1 it arose from the common interosseous artery (1/5 of the cases with persistent median artery).
Samsun yöresindeki populasyonda önkolda persistent median arter (a.mediana) görülme sıklığını araştırmak amacı ile; 20 neonatal ve 8 erişkin kadavranın 56 üst ekstremitesi anatomik diseksiyonlar ile morfolojik olarak incelendi. Ayrıca Anabilim Dalımızda öğrenci diseksiyonlan için kullanılan 27 erişkin kadavrası sonuçlan da karşılaştırma için dikkate alındı. Median arter ile n.medianus komşuluğu histolojik çalışma ile değerlendirildi. Erişkin kadavralarda persistent median arter bulunamadı. Neonatal kadavraların 5 (%12.5) önkolunda, 4'ü a.ulnaris'den l'i a.interossea communis'den orjin alan ve arcus palmaris süperficialis'e ulaşan persistent median arter varlığı saptandı.
