    Macroscopic Anatomy of the Ringed Seal [Pusa (Phoca) hispida] Lower Respiratory System

    ANATOMIA, HISTOLOGIA, EMBRYOLOGIA, Issue 3 2009
    H. Smodlaka
    Summary This investigation serves to document the normal anatomical features of the lower respiratory tract of the ringed seal [Pusa (phoca) hispida]. Evaluation of embalmed specimens and tracheobronchial casts showed that the right lung of this seal consists of four lobes while the left has only three lobes. The ventral margins of the lungs do not reach the sternum causing them to form the boundary of the broad recessus costomediastinalis. Lung lobation corresponds with bronchial tree division. Pulmonary venous drainage includes right and left common veins draining ipsilateral cranial and middle lung lobes, and one common caudal vein draining both caudal lobes and the accessory lobe. The right and left pulmonary arteries divide into cranial and caudal branches at the level of the principal bronchus. The ringed seal has three tracheobronchial lymph nodes. The trachea has an average of 87 cartilages that exhibit a pattern of random anastomoses between adjacent rings. The trachea exhibits to a small degree the dorsoventrally flattened pattern that is described in other pinnipeds. The tracheal diameter is smaller than that of the canine. [source]

    Anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein: Two cases mimicking arteriovenous malformations and a review of the literature

    Summary Total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage is a rare congenital anomaly. It usually involves a pulmonary to systemic venous shunt and most cases have a septal defect in order to survive. Anomalous pulmonary venous drainage with pulmonary venous shunting is an extremely rare and entirely benign entity. We present two such cases, in which there was atresia of the left superior pulmonary vein and drainage via a tortuous collateral vein to the left inferior pulmonary vein. This collateral was mistaken on plain film and CT for a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation. Awareness of this anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein and its radiological appearances may help in avoiding unnecessary pulmonary angiography. [source]

    MRI of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (scimitar syndrome)

    JOURNAL OF MEDICAL IMAGING AND RADIATION ONCOLOGY, Issue 1 2003

    Summary We report a case of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the inferior vena cava (scimitar syndrome). Cine MRI and 3-D contrast-enhanced MR angiography provides an non-invasive diagnostic technique in the evaluation of anomalous pulmonary venous return. [source]
