Abstract

Objective. The aim of our paper is to present a rare variation of the suprascapular vein, its incidence and clinical significance. Case Report. A rare case of a double suprascapular vein was observed in a digi­talized human cadaver on Anatomage Table 5.0. The vein divided into two branches, one passing over the tr ansverse scapular ligament, while the other one coursed underneath the ligament, inside the notch. Conclusion. This variation has major clinical impor­tance as it is associated with the appearance of Supra­scapular nerve entrapment syndrome.

Abstract

Objective. The aim of the present preliminary study was to assess whether the sternomental distance ratio (SMDR) could be suitable as a predictor of difficult laryngoscopy, in both normal surgical patients and patients scheduled to undergo thyroid tumor surgery. Methods. Two hundred and twenty-one consecutive adult patients (among them 122 patients with presumed normal airways and 33 patients with thyroid tumors), scheduled to undergo elective surgery under general anesthesia, were included in this study. Physical and airway characteristics, SMDR, difficult laryngoscopy (using Cormack-Lehane scale) and any kind of assisted intubation were assessed. Results. Decreased SMDR demonstrated a strong correlation with difficult laryn­goscopy in both thyroid tumor (Kendall’s tau-b -0.578 (P=0.004) and normal patients -0.362 (P1.9 and 33% at SMDR Conclu­sions. Α SMDR>1.9 indicates an easy laryngoscopy, whereas SMDR
