Bones grow through the processes o intramembranous ossifcation, during which mesenchymal bone fashions are ormed through the embryonic and prenatal periods, and endochondral ossifcation, by which cartilage models are ormed during the etal interval, with bone subsequently replacing most o the cartilage ater delivery. Joints: A joint is a union between two or more bones or inflexible elements o the skeleton. Freely moveable synovial joints are the commonest sort; could be classifed into plane, hinge, saddle, condyloid, ball and socket, and pivot; obtain their blood supply rom articular arteries that oten orm networks; are drained by articular veins originating within the synovial membrane; and are richly innervated by articular nerves that transmit the sensation o proprioception, an awareness o movement and place o elements o the physique. They are organized into tissues that transfer body parts or quickly alter the shape (reduce the circumerence o all or part) o inside organs. Associated connective tissue conveys nerve bers and capillaries to the muscle cells because it binds them into bundles or ascicles. Muscle Tissue and Muscular System 29 whether or not it seems striped or unstriped when considered under a microscope (striated vs. Skeletal striated muscle is voluntary somatic muscle that makes up the gross skeletal muscles that compose the muscular system, transferring or stabilizing bones and different constructions. Cardiac striated muscle is involuntary visceral muscle that orms most o the partitions o the guts and adjacent elements o the nice vessels, such as the aorta, and pumps blood. Smooth muscle (unstriated muscle) is involuntary visceral muscle that orms half o the walls o most vessels and hole organs (viscera), moving substances via them by coordinated sequential contractions (pulsations or peristaltic contractions). Some muscle tissue are feshy throughout, but most even have white noncontractile portions (tendons), composed primarily o organized collagen bundles, that provide a way o attachment. Most skeletal muscles are connected instantly or indirectly to bones, cartilages, ligaments, or ascias or to some mixture o these structures. Muscles are organs o locomotion (movement), however additionally they present static help, give orm to the physique, and supply warmth. The tendons o some muscular tissues orm fat sheets, or aponeuroses, that anchor the muscle to the skeleton (usually a ridge or a collection o spinous processes) and/or to deep ascia (such as the latissimus dorsi muscle o the back) or to the aponeurosis o another muscle (such as the oblique muscular tissues o the anterolateral abdominal wall). Other muscle tissue are named on the basis o their place (medial, lateral, anterior, posterior) or length (brevis, brief; longus, long). Muscles could additionally be described or classied based on their shape, or which a muscle can also be named: Flat muscles have parallel bers oten with an aponeurosis-or example, the exterior oblique (broad fat muscle). Most o the muscular tissues shown transfer the skeleton or locomotion, but some muscles-especially those o the head- move other structures. The sheath o the let rectus abdominis, ormed by aponeuroses o the at stomach muscle tissue, has been removed to reveal the muscle. Retinacula are deep ascial thickenings that tether tendons to underlying bones as they cross joints. Fusiorm muscles are spindle formed with a round, thick stomach (or bellies) and tapered ends-or example, biceps brachii. Convergent muscle tissue arise rom a broad area and converge to orm a single tendon-or instance, pectoralis major. Circular or sphincteral muscles encompass a body opening or orice, constricting it when contracted-or example, orbicularis oculi (closes the eyelids). Multiheaded or multibellied muscular tissues have multiple head o attachment or multiple contractile belly, respectively. Muscle tone is usually absent solely when unconscious (as during deep sleep or underneath common anesthesia) or ater a nerve lesion leading to paralysis. There are two main sorts o phasic (active) muscle contractions: (1) isotonic contractions, in which the muscle adjustments size in relationship to the production o motion, and (2) isometric contractions, by which muscle size remains the same-no movement happens, but the orce (muscle tension) is increased above tonic ranges to resist gravity or other antagonistic orce. The latter kind o contraction is important in Equal resistance Isometric Skeletal muscles unction by contracting; they pull and by no means push. However, sure phenomena-such as "popping o the ears" to equalize air strain and the musculovenous pump. When a muscle contracts and shortens, one o its attachments normally stays xed while the other (more mobile) attachment is pulled toward it, oten resulting in movement. Attachments o muscle tissue are generally described because the origin and insertion; the origin is normally the proximal finish o the muscle, which stays xed during muscular contraction, and the insertion is normally the distal end o the muscle, which is movable. For instance, when doing push-ups, the distal finish o the upper limb (the hand) is xed (on the foor), and the proximal end o the limb and the trunk (o the body) are being moved. Thereore, this book usually uses the terms proximal and distal or medial and lateral when describing most muscle attachments. Although skeletal muscle tissue are additionally reerred to as voluntary muscular tissues, sure elements o their exercise are automatic (reexive) and thereore not voluntarily controlled. Examples are the respiratory movements o the diaphragm, managed most o the time by refexes stimulated by the degrees o oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood (although we will willully control it inside limits), and the myotatic refex, which finally ends up in movement ater a muscle stretch produced by tapping a tendon with a refex hammer.

The L2 spinous process offers an estimate o the place o the inerior finish o the spinal wire. This stage signifies the inerior extent o the subarachnoid area (lumbar cistern). The sacral triangle outlining the sacrum is ormed by the strains joining the 2 posterior superior iliac spines and the superior part o the intergluteal (natal) clet between the buttocks. The sacral hiatus can be palpated at the inerior finish o the sacrum situated in the superior part o the intergluteal clet. The transverse processes o thoracic and lumbar vertebrae are covered with thick muscle tissue and should or will not be palpable. The coccyx can be palpated within the intergluteal clet, inerior to the apex o the sacral triangle. Ossifcation o Vertebrae Vertebrae begin to develop through the embryonic period as mesenchymal condensations across the notochord. Typically, vertebrae begin to ossiy towards the end o the embryonic interval (8th week). Three primary ossifcation centers develop in each cartilaginous vertebra: an endochondral centrum, which will ultimately represent most o the physique o the vertebra, and two perichondral facilities, one in each hal o the neural arch. The improvement o the lumbar vertebrae is proven, together with (J) the primary and secondary ossifcation centers, (K) the anular epiphyses separated rom the body, and (L) the anular epiphyses in place. Note that the ossifcation and usion o sacral vertebrae is most likely not completed till age 35. At delivery, typical vertebrae and the superiormost sacral vertebrae consist o three bony elements united by hyaline cartilage. The inerior sacral vertebrae and all of the coccygeal vertebrae are still entirely cartilaginous; they ossiy throughout inancy. The halves o the neural arches articulate at neurocentral joints, which are main cartilaginous joints. The halves o the neural/vertebral arch begin to use with one another posterior to the vertebral canal during the 1st yr, starting within the lumbar region after which in the thoracic and cervical regions. Five secondary ossifcation facilities develop throughout puberty in each typical vertebra: one at the tip o the spinous course of; one at the tip o every transverse process; and two anular epiphyses (ring epiphyses), one on the superior and one on the inerior edges o every vertebral body. When progress ceases early within the adult period, the epiphyses often unite with the vertebral body. This union results in the attribute smooth raised margin, the epiphysial rim, across the edges o the superior and inerior suraces o the physique o the grownup vertebra. All secondary ossication facilities have usually united with the vertebrae by age 25; nonetheless, the ages at which specic unions happen range. In addition, at all ranges, primordial "ribs" (costal elements) seem in affiliation with the secondary ossication facilities o the transverse processes (transverse elements). The costal components usually become ribs solely in the thoracic region; they turn into half o the transverse course of or its equivalent at other ranges. In the cervical region, the costal component usually stays diminutive as part o the transverse course of. Foramina transversarii develop as gaps between the two lateral ossication facilities, medial to a linking costotransverse bar, which orms the lateral boundary o the oramina. In addition, as a outcome of o the cervical transverse processes being ormed rom the two developmental elements, the transverse processes o cervical vertebrae end laterally in an anterior tubercle (rom the costal element) and a posterior tubercle (rom the transverse element). The atypical morphology o vertebrae C1 and C2 can be established during growth. The centrum o C1 turns into used to that o C2 and loses its peripheral connection to the remainder o C1, thus orming the dens. The part o the body that remains with C1 is represented by the anterior arch and tubercle o C1. In the thoracic region, the costal elements separate rom the creating vertebrae and elongate into ribs, and the transverse components alone orm the transverse processes. All but the base o the transverse processes o the lumbar vertebrae develop rom the costal element. The ala and auricular suraces o the sacrum are ormed by the usion o the transverse and costal parts.

The rotatores, or rotator muscular tissues, are the deepest o the three layers o transversospinal muscle tissue and are greatest developed within the thoracic area. The interspinales, intertransversarii, and levatores costarum are minor deep back muscle tissue that are relatively sparse within the thoracic area. The interspinales and intertransversarii muscles connect spinous and transverse processes, respectively. The elevators o the ribs characterize the posterior intertransversarii muscular tissues o the neck. Details regarding the attachments, nerve provide, and actions o the minor muscle tissue o the deep layer o intrinsic muscle tissue are provided in Table 2. The transversospinalis muscle group (major deep layer-purple) is deep to the erector spinae (pink- see D). The levatores costarum muscles symbolize the intertransversarii muscles in the thoracic region. The back muscles are comparatively inactive in the stand-easy place, however they (especially the shorter deep layer o intrinsic muscles) act as static postural muscles (xators or steadiers) o the vertebral column, sustaining tension and stability as required or the erect posture. However, keep in mind that in these as in all actions, the eccentric contraction (controlled relaxation) o the antagonist muscular tissues is vital to easy, managed movement (see "Muscle Tissue and the Muscular System" in Chapter 1, Overview and Basic Concepts). Oten persistent back strain (such as that brought on by extreme lumbar lordosis; see B2. Exercise or elimination o extreme, inconsistently distributed weight could also be required to restore steadiness. Principal muscular tissues producing movements o thoracic and lumbar intervertebral joints. It was assumed that the upper focus o spindles occurred as a outcome of small muscles produce the most exact actions, corresponding to ne postural actions or manipulation and, thereore, require extra proprioceptive eedback. The actions described or small muscles are deduced rom the placement o their attachments and the direction o the muscle bers and rom exercise measured by electromyography as actions are perormed. Muscles such because the rotatores, nonetheless, are so small and are placed in positions o such relatively poor mechanical benefit that their ability to produce the actions described is considerably questionable. Furthermore, such small muscular tissues are oten redundant to different bigger muscles which have superior mechanical advantage. Hence, it has been proposed (Buxton and Peck, 1989) that the smaller muscular tissues o small�large muscle pairs unction more as "kinesiological displays," or organs o proprioception, and that the bigger muscle tissue are the producers o movement. When the person is standing, the lumbar spinous processes could additionally be indicated by depressions within the pores and skin. The median urrow ends in the fattened triangular area masking the sacrum and is changed ineriorly by the intergluteal clet. When the upper limbs are elevated, the scapulae transfer laterally on the thoracic wall, making the rhomboid and teres main muscular tissues visible. The supercially situated trapezius and latissimus dorsi muscles connecting the upper limbs to the vertebral column are additionally clearly visible. Suboccipital and Deep Neck Muscles Oten misrepresented as a surace region, the suboccipital area is a muscle "compartment" deep to the superior part o the posterior cervical region, and deep to the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, splenius, and semispinalis muscle tissue. It is a pyramidal house inerior to the exterior occipital prominence o the pinnacle that includes the posterior elements o vertebrae C1 and C2. Nuchal groove (site of nuchal ligament) Surace Anatomy o Back Muscles the posterior median urrow overlies the tips o the spinous processes o the vertebrae. The urrow is continuous superiorly with the nuchal groove in the neck and is deepest within the lower thoracic and higher lumbar areas. Muscles o Back a hundred twenty five the our small muscular tissues o the suboccipital region lie deep (anterior) to the semispinalis capitis muscle tissue and consist o two rectus capitis posterior (major and minor) and two obliquus muscle tissue. All our muscles are innervated by the posterior ramus o C1, the suboccipital nerve. These muscular tissues are primarily postural muscles, however actions are sometimes described or each muscle in phrases o producing motion o the head. The suboccipital muscular tissues act on the head directly or not directly (explaining the inclusion o capitis of their names) by extending it on vertebra C1 and rotating it on vertebrae C1 and C2.

The superior aspect o the central tendon o the diaphragm is used with the inerior surace o the brous pericardium, the strong, external part o the broserous pericardial sac that encloses the guts. Vessels and Nerves o Diaphragm the arteries o the diaphragm orm a branch-like sample on each its superior (thoracic) and inerior (abdominal) suraces. The arteries supplying the inerior surace o the diaphragm are the inerior phrenic arteries, which typically are the rst branches o the abdominal aorta; however, they might come up rom the celiac trunk. Some veins rom the posterior curvature o the diaphragm drain into the azygos and hemi-azygos veins (see Chapter 4, Thorax). The veins draining the inerior surace o the diaphragm are the inerior phrenic veins. The lymphatic plexuses on the superior and inerior suraces o the diaphragm talk reely. The anterior and posterior diaphragmatic lymph nodes are on the superior surace o the diaphragm. Lymph rom these nodes drains into the parasternal, posterior mediastinal, and phrenic lymph nodes. Lymphatic vessels rom the inerior surace o the diaphragm drain into the anterior diaphragmatic, phrenic, and superior lumbar (caval/aortic) lymph nodes. Lymphatic capillaries are dense on the inerior surace o the diaphragm, constituting the first means or absorption o peritoneal fuid and substances launched by intraperitoneal (I. Sensory innervation (pain and proprioception) to the diaphragm can also be mostly rom the phrenic nerves. Peripheral elements o the diaphragm receive their sensory nerve provide rom the intercostal nerves (lower six or seven) and the subcostal nerves. Also passing by way of the caval opening are terminal branches o the right phrenic nerve and a ew lymphatic vessels on their way rom the liver to the middle phrenic and mediastinal lymph nodes. Lymphatic vessels are ormed in two plexuses, one on the superior surace o the diaphragm and the other on its inerior surace; the plexuses talk reely. The phrenic nerves supply all o the motor and most o the sensory innervation to the diaphragm. In most individuals (70%), each margins o the hiatus are ormed by muscular bundles o the right crus. In others (30%), a supercial muscular bundle rom the let crus contributes to the ormation o the proper margin o the hiatus. The esophageal hiatus also transmits the anterior and posterior vagal trunks, esophageal branches o the let gastric vessels, and a ew lymphatic vessels. The bers o the best crus o the diaphragm decussate (cross one another) inerior to the hiatus, orming a muscular sphincter or the esophagus that constricts it when the diaphragm contracts. The esophageal hiatus is superior to and to the let o the aortic hiatus is the opening posterior within the diaphragm or the descending aorta. The aorta passes between the crura o the diaphragm posterior to the median arcuate ligament, which is at the stage o the inerior border o the T12 vertebra. This triangle transmits lymphatic vessels rom the diaphragmatic surace o the liver and the superior epigastric vessels. The sympathetic trunks cross deep to the medial arcuate ligament, accompanied by the least splanchnic nerves. There are two small apertures in each crus o the diaphragm; one transmits the higher splanchnic nerve and the opposite the lesser splanchnic nerve. Although this movement is oten described as the "descent o the diaphragm," only the domes o the diaphragm descend. This increases the volume o the thoracic cavity and decreases the intrathoracic stress, leading to air being taken into the lungs. In addition, the volume o the belly cavity decreases barely and intra-abdominal pressure increases considerably. Movements o the diaphragm are additionally important in circulation as a result of the elevated intra-abdominal strain and decreased intrathoracic pressure help return venous blood to the center. The diaphragm is at its most superior degree when an individual is supine (with the higher physique lowered, the Trendelenburg position). In this position, the stomach viscera push the diaphragm superiorly within the thoracic cavity. When a person lies on one side, the hemidiaphragm rises to a extra superior degree as a end result of o the greater push o the viscera on that side.

A resection and end-to-end anastomosis is carried out as described above with the proximal incision being carried to some extent beneath the retrograde left subclavian flap. The cross-clamp time throughout which descending aortic flow is interrupted ought to be considerably shorter than that required for a radically extended end-to-end anastomosis as a result of half the process is performed with perfusion to the decrease physique persevering with through the ductus. Modifications of Left Subclavian Patch Aortoplasty the approach described by Meier et al. The distal subclavian artery is controlled with a small bulldog clamp or with a fantastic tourniquet in the course of the cross-clamp interval. The aortotomy is prolonged from the purpose of left subclavian origin across the coarctation and beyond for several millimeters. The mobilized left subclavian artery is now superior and is sutured into the aortotomy as a flap. After mobilization of the aorta proximal and distal to the coarctation area, clamps are applied above and under. A longitudinal incision is made on the anterior and leftward face of the aorta throughout the coarctation space. A patch of synthetic material, usually Gore-Tex or Dacron, is sutured into aortotomy using steady nonabsorbable suture. One strategy is to use a left thoracotomy incision and to place a pulmonary artery band on the time of coarctation repair. This method also may cut back the probability of requiring a interval of circulatory arrest. The drawback of this approach contains the necessity for an prolonged hospitalization, the risks of two operations somewhat than one, the expense of two operations somewhat than one, further psychological stress for the family, and the cosmetic disadvantage of two incisions somewhat than one. Cannulation of the ascending aorta is modified in that the arterial cannula is inserted into the proper lateral side of the mid-ascending aorta. During cooling, the arch vessels are thoroughly mobilized, as properly as the proximal descending aorta. Considerable care is taken to protect the left recurrent laryngeal and vagus nerves, in addition to the phrenic nerve. A fantastic neonatal vascular clamp is positioned across the proximal aortic arch and a C-clamp is positioned on the descending aorta. The left frequent carotid and left subclavian arteries are controlled with fantastic tourniquets. With bypass persevering with, the coarctation area can be excised and an prolonged end-to-end anastomosis carried out. However, within the bigger infant with favorable anatomy, cooling to reasonable hypothermia such as 25�C will still present sufficient protection of each the spinal twine and mind. A patch of crimped Dacron has been sutured into the aortotomy utilizing a steady suture approach. CompliCatioNs oF CoarCtatioN surgery aNd the method to miNimize them Early Complications Paraplegia By far the most devastating complication reported with coarctation surgical procedure is paraplegia. In the present era, nevertheless, the chance of paraplegia is nearly actually much much less. In addition, the smaller aorta of the younger youngster necessitates a really a lot shorter suture line and subsequently quicker cross-clamp time. Drawing on the adult experience with paraplegia after aneurysm surgical procedure, it is extremely likely that an prolonged cross-clamp time, for example, greater than half-hour, as properly as hypotension, are essential predisposing factors for the development of paraplegia. It is necessary to do not forget that the anterior spinal artery is equipped by branches from the best and left vertebral artery which come up from the subclavian arteries. Usually move continues by way of the proper subclavian and vertebral arteries, as nicely as the proper internal mammary artery during the cross-clamp period. An aberrant right subclavian artery (which arises from the proximal descending aorta), nonetheless, is included throughout the clamped segment thereby increasing the danger of compromise of blood move to the anterior spinal artery. In this setting, if a number of intercostal vessels and most particularly the artery of Adamkiewicz are occluded in the course of the cross-clamp period, then the chance of paraplegia shall be increased. Accordingly, it is necessary to protect flow via as many collateral vessels as possible and to avoid division of collateral vessels except absolutely needed. It is our follow to use a mild degree of systemic hypothermia to 34�C or 35�C by use of a cooling blanket in the course of the cross-clamp period.

The anal canal is the terminal part o the massive intestine and o the whole digestive tract. The anal canal, surrounded by internal and external anal sphincters, descends postero-ineriorly between the anococcygeal ligament and the perineal physique. Its contraction (tonus) is stimulated and maintained by sympathetic bers rom the superior rectal (peri- arterial) and hypogastric plexuses. Its contraction is inhibited by parasympathetic ber stimulation, both intrinsically in relation to peristalsis and extrinsically by bers conveyed by the pelvic splanchnic nerves. This sphincter is tonically contracted most o the time to prevent leakage o fuid or fatus; nonetheless, it relaxes (is inhibited) temporarily in response to distension o the rectal ampulla by eces or gas, requiring voluntary contraction o the puborectalis muscle and external anal sphincter i deecation or fatulence is to be prevented. The ampulla relaxes ater preliminary distension (when peristalsis subsides) and tonus returns till the next peristalsis, or till a threshold degree o distension happens, at which point inhibition o the sphincter is continuous till distension is relieved. The exterior anal sphincter is a big voluntary sphincter that orms a broad band on both sides o the inerior two thirds o the anal canal. This sphincter is connected anteriorly to the perineal physique and posteriorly to the coccyx through the anococcygeal ligament. The exterior anal sphincter is described as having subcutaneous, supercial, and deep elements; these are zones rather than muscle bellies and are oten indistinct. The external anal sphincter is equipped primarily by S4 through the inerior rectal nerve.

Left frequent iliac artery Left inside iliac artery Left external iliac artery Left ureter Umbilical artery Uterine artery Middle rectal artery Superior and inferior vesicular arteries Spine of ischium Internal pudendal a. Internally, the superior hal o the mucous membrane o the anal canal is characterized by a series o longitudinal ridges known as anal columns. These columns contain the terminal branches o the superior rectal artery and vein. The anorectal junction, indicated by the superior ends o the anal columns, is where the rectum joins the anal canal. When compressed by eces, the anal sinuses exude mucus, which aids in evacuation o eces rom the anal canal. The inerior comb-shaped limit o the anal valves orms an irregular line, the pectinate line (dentate line). The anal canal superior to the pectinate line diers rom the part inerior to the pectinate line in its histology, arterial provide, innervation, and venous and lymphatic drainage. These dierences result rom the dierent embryological origins o the superior and inerior parts o the anal canal (Moore et al. The two inerior rectal arteries supply the anal canal inerior to the pectinate line in addition to the encompassing muscular tissues and peri-anal pores and skin. The center rectal arteries help with the blood supply to the anal canal by orming anastomoses with the superior and inerior rectal arteries. The inner rectal venous plexus drains in both instructions rom the level o the pectinate line. Superior to the pectinate line, the internal rectal plexus drains chiefy into the superior rectal vein (a tributary o the inerior mesenteric vein) and the portal system. Inerior to the pectinate line, the interior rectal plexus drains into the inerior rectal veins (tributaries o the caval venous system) around the margin o the exterior anal sphincter. The middle rectal veins (tributaries o the internal iliac veins) mainly drain the muscularis externa o the ampulla and orm anastomoses with the superior and inerior rectal veins. The vascular submucosa is especially thickened in the let lateral, proper anterolateral, and proper posterolateral positions, orming anal cushions, or threshold pads, on the point o closure o the anal canal. Superior to the pectinate line, the lymphatic vessels drain deeply into the inner iliac lymph nodes and thru them into the widespread iliac and lumbar lymph nodes. Vessels and nerves superior to the pectinate line are visceral; those inerior to the pectinate line are parietal or somatic. Inerior to the pectinate line, the lymphatic vessels drain supercially into the supercial inguinal lymph nodes, as does most o the perineum. The nerve provide to the anal canal superior to the pectinate line is visceral innervation rom the inerior hypogastric plexus, involving sympathetic, parasympathetic, and visceral aerent bers.

It was the first congenital cardiac anomaly to be repaired using cardiopulmonary bypass within the early 1950s. It was additionally the primary intracardiac anomaly to be managed successfully by a catheter delivered system. This has retarded development of minimally invasive and robotic surgical strategies, though analysis in these areas continues. Before delivery, oxygen-rich blood from the inferior vena cava carrying blood from the placenta by way of the ductus venosus is directed into the left atrium by the foramen ovale. The foramen ovale consists of the fibromuscular crescent known as the limbus of the fossa ovalis. The septum primum is a skinny membranous flap of tissue which opens into the left atrium, so long as the pressure in the best atrium is higher than the strain within the left atrium. Thus, a new child infant with no congenital cardiac anomaly can temporarily appear fairly blue when straining with a Valsalva movement, thereby forcing systemic venous move into the left atrium. In approximately 25% of individuals, the foramen ovale stays "probe patent" for life. If the septum primum is both absent or heavily fenestrated a secundum atrial septal defect outcomes. The sinus venosus septal defect represents a failure in the formation of the sinus venosus part of the atrial septum. This component of the atrial septum is adjoining to the orifices of the cavas and the pulmonary veins. The proper upper lobe could additionally be drained by a quantity of small veins rather than the usual single vein. Frequently, these anomalous veins will join the superior vena cava thereby creating a true type of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. It could range in size from a miniscule perforation of the septum primum to a small defect representing stretching of the septum primum ("stretched foramen ovale" usually related to a dilated left atrium ensuing from a large left to right shunt elsewhere. It is relatively uniform in size being usually similar in diameter to that of the superior vena cava. The defect in the frequent wall between the coronary sinus and the left atrium can differ from a couple of millimeters diameter to full absence of the wall of the coronary sinus within the left atrium. In this latter scenario, the coronary sinus ostium is itself the atrial septal defect. Other features of Scimitar syndrome embrace proper lung hypoplasia and the presence of aortopulmonary collateral vessels supplying either the right decrease lobe or the complete proper lung somewhat than provide from the true pulmonary artery. Variants embrace two or extra anomalous veins draining all or part of the best lung (usually the lower lobe). Scimitar syndrome has been reported in association with other anomalies, including tracheal anomalies and tetralogy of Fallot. Most commonly the left 314 Comprehensive Surgical Management of Congenital Heart Disease, Second Edition partial anomalous pulmonary veins is extremely uncommon. The hemodynamics, therefore, are much like those of a left to proper shunt at the atrial degree.

Each column is split regionally into three components based on the superior attachments. The common origin o the three erector spinae columns is thru a broad tendon that attaches ineriorly to the posterior half o the iliac crest, the posterior side o the sacrum, the sacro-iliac ligaments, and the sacral and inerior lumbar spinous processes. The Deep to the erector spinae is an obliquely disposed group o a lot shorter muscle tissue, the transversospinalis muscle group consisting o the semispinalis, multidus, and rotatores. These muscle tissue originate rom transverse processes o vertebrae and pass to spinous processes o extra superior vertebrae. Semispinalis capitis orms the longitudinal bulge in the again o the neck close to the median aircraft. The multifdus is the middle layer o the group and consists o short, triangular muscular bundles that are thickest in the lumbar region. However, recall the discussion o the small member o the small�large muscle pair unctioning as a kinesiological monitor or the sense o proprioception. The principal muscular tissues producing actions o the craniovertebral joints are summarized in Tables 2. Back sprain is an injury in which solely ligamentous tissue, or the attachment o ligament to bone, is concerned, without dislocation or racture. It results rom excessively sturdy contractions associated to movements o the vertebral column, similar to excessive extension or rotation. Back pressure is a common damage in people who take part in sports activities; it results rom overly strong muscular contraction. The pressure involves some degree o stretching or microscopic tearing o muscle bers. Using the again as a lever when liting places an infinite strain on the vertebral column and its ligaments and muscle tissue. Strains can be minimized i the liter crouches, holds the back as straight as attainable, and uses the muscles o the buttocks (nates) and lower limbs to help with the liting. As a protective mechanism, the back muscles go into spasm ater an injury or in response to infammation. Spasms are attended by cramps, ache, and intererence with unction, producing involuntary motion and distortion. Reduced Blood Supply to the Brainstem the winding course o the vertebral arteries by way of the oramina transversarii o the transverse processes o the cervical vertebrae and through the suboccipital triangles becomes clinically signicant when blood fow through these arteries is decreased, as occurs with arteriosclerosis (hardening o arteries). Under these conditions, prolonged turning o the head, as happens when backing up a motor vehicle, may trigger light-headedness, dizziness, and other signs rom the intererence with the blood provide to the brainstem. Intrinsic again muscle tissue: the deep intrinsic again muscle tissue connect elements o the axial skeleton, are mostly innervated by posterior rami o spinal nerves, and are arranged in three layers: superfcial (splenius muscles), intermediate (erector spinae), and deep (transversospinalis muscles). The intrinsic muscle tissue provide primarily extension and proprioception or posture, and work synergistically with the muscles o the anterolateral stomach wall to stabilize and produce movements o the trunk. Suboccipital muscle tissue: Suboccipital muscular tissues prolong between vertebrae C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) and the occipital bone and produce-and/or present proprioceptive inormation about-movements on the craniovertebral joints. Spinal Cord the spinal twine is the most important refex center and conduction pathway between the body and brain. The spinal twine begins as a continuation o the medulla oblongata (oten known as the medulla), the caudal half o the brainstem. In adults, the spinal wire is 42�45 cm long and extends rom the oramen magnum within the occipital bone to the level o the L1 or L2 vertebra. However, its tapering inerior end, the conus medullaris, might terminate as high as T12 vertebra or as little as L3 vertebra. Thus, the spinal twine occupies solely the superior two thirds o the vertebral canal. The spinal twine is enlarged in two regions in relationship to innervation o the limbs. The cervical enlargement extends rom C4 by way of T1 segments o the spinal cord, and most o the anterior rami o the spinal nerves arising rom it orm the brachial plexus o nerves that innervates the higher limbs. The lumbosacral enlargement extends rom T11 via S1 segments o the spinal wire, inerior to which the twine continues to diminish because the conus medullaris. The anterior rami o the spinal nerves arising rom this enlargement make up the lumbar and sacral plexuses o nerves that innervate the lower limbs.

This thin, extrapleural layer o free connective tissue orms a pure cleavage airplane or surgical separation o the costal pleura rom the thoracic wall (see the Clinical Box "Extrapleural Intrathoracic Surgical Access"). The mediastinal half o the parietal pleura (mediastinal pleura) covers the lateral elements o the mediastinum, the partition o tissues and organs separating the pulmonary cavities and their pleural sacs. It is continuous with costal pleura anteriorly and posteriorly and with the diaphragmatic pleura ineriorly. Superior to the foundation o the lung, the mediastinal pleura is a continuous sheet passing anteroposteriorly between the sternum and the vertebral column. A thin, more elastic layer o endothoracic ascia, the phrenicopleural ascia, connects the diaphragmatic pleura with the muscular bers o the diaphragm. The cervical pleura covers the apex o the lung (the half o the lung extending superiorly through the superior thoracic aperture into the foundation o the neck;. It is a superior continuation o the costal and mediastinal elements o the parietal pleura. The cervical pleura orms a cup-like dome (pleural cupula) over the apex o the lung that reaches its summit 2�3 cm superior to the extent o the medial third o the clavicle, on the degree o the neck o the first rib. The cervical pleura is reinorced by a brous extension o the endothoracic ascia, the suprapleural (continued on p. The dimensional (B) and coronal cross-sectional (C) diagrams reveal the linings o the pleural cavities and lungs (pleurae). Inset: A fst invaginating an underinated balloon demonstrates the connection o the lung (represented by the fst) to partitions o the pleural sac (parietal and visceral layers o pleura). The let sternal reection o parietal pleura and anterior border o the let lung deviate rom the median airplane, circumventing the area the place the center is, lies adjoining to the anterior thoracic wall. In this "naked area" the pericardial sac is accessible or needle puncture with less danger o puncturing the pleural cavity or lung. The shapes o the lungs and the larger pleural sacs that surround them during quiet respiration are demonstrated. The costodiaphragmatic recesses, not occupied by lung, are the place pleural exudate accumulates when the physique is erect. The outline o the horizontal fssure o the best lung clearly parallels the 4th rib. The membrane attaches to the inner border o the first rib and the transverse process o C7 vertebra. The relatively abrupt strains along which the parietal pleura adjustments path as it passes (relects) rom one wall o the pleural cavity to one other are the lines o pleural relection. Three strains o pleural relection define the extent o the pulmonary cavities on each side: sternal, costal, and diaphragmatic. Diaphragm, base o pulmonary cavities and mediastinum, and costodiaphragmatic recesses. At this degree, the mediastinum consists o the pericardial sac (middle mediastinum) and the posterior mediastinum, mainly containing the esophagus and aorta. The deep groove surrounding the convexity o the diaphragm is the costodiaphragmatic recess, lined with parietal pleura. Anteriorly at this stage, the pericardium and costomediastinal recesses and, between the sternal reections o pleura, an area o pericardium solely (the bare area) lie between the center and the thoracic wall. Deviation o the heart to the let facet primarily aects the proper and let sternal lines o pleural reection, which are asymmetrical. Between the levels o costal cartilages 2�4, the proper and let traces descend in touch. Here it passes to the let margin o the sternum and continues ineriorly to the sixth costal cartilage, creating a shallow notch as it runs lateral to an space o direct contact between the pericardium (heart sac) and the anterior thoracic wall. This shallow notch within the pleural sac, and the "naked area" o pericardial contact with the anterior wall. The costal strains o pleural reection are sharp continuations o the sternal strains, occurring where the costal pleura turns into continuous with diaphragmatic pleura ineriorly.
