During abdominal surgery, the blood supply to the liver and other abdominal organs plays a vital role. The knowledge regarding hepatic artery variations is crucial for various surgical and radiological procedures concerning the liver and dutiful to be reported. We aim to report a case of variant origin of the right hepatic artery to contribute to the existing knowledge pool to improve surgical safety. The present case describes a variant hepatic vascularization encountered on 3D volume-rendered CT imaging of a 60-year-old male admitted to the hospital emergency for recurrent abdominal pain. The common hepatic artery was absent. The right hepatic artery was observed to arise from the superior mesenteric artery, while the left hepatic artery arose directly from the coeliac artery. Awareness of such abnormalities is critical to minimize morbidity and prevent operational complications in hepatic surgery or liver transplantation. KEY WORDS: hepatic artery, CT scan, variations, anatomy, s...

Introduction: Median nerve is formed in axilla by contributions from medial and lateral cords of brachial plexus. It descends in the arm, forearm and then through carpal tunnel in close conjunction with flexor tendons of forearm. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common entrapment neuropathy. Median nerve cross sectional area (CSA) and ratio of nerve major axis to minor axis (flattening ratio) serve as potential diagnostic criteria for carpal tunnel syndrome. Median nerve cross sectional area and flattening ratio (FR) can be assessed by ultrasonography (US). Aim of the study was to assess median nerve by US and tabulate mean values for CSA and FR in asymptomatic population. This would serve to limit the cut-off values that differentiate asymptomatic nerves from neuropathic nerves. Material & Methods: Study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, KGMU, Lucknow. Fifty randomly selected asymptomatic volunteers (undergraduate students: 30 males, 20 females) participated in the study...
