Structures With High* Clinical Significance
ANATOMIC STRUCTURES
CLINICAL IMPORTANCE
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM—Continued
PLATE
NUMBERS
Middle meningeal artery Trauma to skull can tear middle meningeal artery, causing epidural hematoma 112
Dural venous sinuses
Cavernous sinus
Infections in head may spread to sinuses, causing dural sinus thrombosis; cavernous sinus
is most common site
Fistula (anastomosis) between internal carotid artery and cavernous sinus may form,
especially following trauma
Carotid sinus Compressed during carotid sinus massage 141
Cerebral arterial circle of
Willis
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
114, 115
115, 151
Common site of aneurysms; rupture produces subarachnoid hemorrhage 150
Thoracic duct May be injured in neck at junction of internal jugular and subclavian veins 85
Superior and inferior deep
nodes
Palpated during neck examination to assess size 85, 86
*Selections were based largely on clinical data and commonly discussed clinical correlations in gross anatomy courses.
