Topographical and Pathotopographical Medical Atlas of the Head and Neck.

The atlas presents topographical and pathotopographic human anatomy for both the adult and the child. The section “Head” includes cerebral and facial parts according to the areas. Layer topographic anatomy, variant, computer and MRI-topographic anatomy are presented in the section. The surgical anatomy of congenital malformations of the head includes cerebral hernia and hydrocephalus, and of the face - macrostomy, coloboma, clefts of hard and soft palate. In the section “Neck” there are given individual and age differences, fasciae and cell spaces, triangles and vascular-neural bundles, collateral blood supply of the brain in injuries or occlusion of the main neck arteries, topography of the neck organs. All the pictures are colorful and original. The atlas is written in accordance with the educational program of medical universities of the Russian Federation. The original graphs of logical structures are presented according to the sections of topography and congenital malformations. This allows an effective study of the subject.

This atlas is intended for the students of General Medicine, Pediatrics and Dentistry faculties, as well as for interns, residents, postgraduate students and surgeons. The monograph is intended to be used by physicians, junior physicians, medical residents, lecturers in medicine, and medical students.

Introduction

This color atlas of topographic and pathotopographic human anatomy is the fundamental and practically important book designed for doctors of all specializations and students of medical schools. Here you can find almost everything that is connected with the topographic and pathotopographic human anatomy, including original graphs of logical structures of topographic anatomy and development of congenital abnormalities, topography of different areas in layers, pathotopography, computer and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of topographic and pathotopographic anatomy. Also you can find here new theoretical and practical sections of topographic anatomy developed by the author himself which are published for the first time. They are practically important for mastering the technique of operative interventions and denying the possibility of iatrogenic complications during operations.

All the pictures are completely original, drawn and colored at a highly professional level. There are also illustrations of individual and age differences of human organs in the chapter of variant topographical anatomy. In the chapter of topographical anatomy you can find holothopy, sceletothopy, synthopy of organs and main anatomical formations, facial vaginae, reticular spaces, branches of nerves and vessels, collateral vessels, zones of sensory and motoric innevation of nerve trunci. Pathotopographic anatomy is displayed by the examples of typical pathology of different areas.

One of the distinguishing features of this book is that topographic and anatomic structures are presented both in corpses and postoperative patients. This data is gathered by the use of MRI and transillumination of organs and tissues.

Unfortunately, nowadays there is no publication of modern atlases of clinical, topographic and pathotopographic anatomy due to several reasons. Firstly, this subject is separated only in Russia and Hungary. In other countries, it is either absent or exists as a part of similar subjects like anatomy or surgery. Some of the themes presented in this book like pathotopographic, variant, normal, topographic anatomy, transillumination, pathotopographic and topographic anatomy of patients and healthy people are original studies of the author of this book.

This color atlas can serve as a textbook for routine necessities of theoretical and practical work of physiologists and pathophysiologists, anatomists and topographic anatomists, pathoanatomists, therapists, surgeons, gynecologists and obstericians, neurologists and dermatovenerologists, radiologists, reanimatologists, anaestesiologists, otorhinolaringologists, traumatologists, orthopedists, pediatricians, dentists and other doctors of narrow specializations like angiosurgeons, urologists, plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, etc.

Topographic and pathotopographic anatomy presented in this book can be divided into surgical anatomy, therapeutic anatomy, stomatological anatomy, pediatric anatomy, etc. There are also some specific and non-specific indications of pathotopography and variants of physiology, differences between physiology and pathology, and ways of using ultrasound topographic and pathotopographic anatomy. It should be pointed out that studying a living human organism in physiological and pathological conditions is the most effective way for reliable diagnostics. Here you can also find descriptions of less traumatic and non-traumatic operations, as well as effective ways of treatment.

Topographic clinical anatomy changes in the course of a disease and recovery, iatrogenic manipulations, as well as therapeutic and surgical interventions. Some of these situations are described in this book. The author of this book will eagerly accept all constructive criticism and take it into consideration in the next editions of the book.
