The scapula, one of the largest flat bones of the skeletal system, is located behind the chest wall. Scapula has unique morphometric features and anatomical variations. Glenoid structure and acromion type are the structures that show variations. In this study, the morphometric properties of the scapula and the variability of the anatomical variations were evaluated, and the results were compared with the studies in the literature. 40 scapulae, 16 right and 24 left, which are available at the Anatomy Department at Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine, were measured with an electrocronic digital caliper with a millimeter precision. In addition, the acromion and glenoid structures of all scapulae were evaluated and typed. The mean height of the 40 scapulae was 14.7 mm and the mean width was 10.5 mm. The average length of spina scapulae was 13.3 mm. The mean length and width of the acromion were 4.7 mm and 2.3 mm, respectively. Acromion typing showed 10 straight, 15 concave and 15 notched acromia. When acromion was separated according to its shape, 14 were cobra shaped, 13 were intermediate and 13 were square shaped. 18 glenoid were comma-shaped, 13 were oval and 9 were pear-shaped. When we compared the results obtained in this study, which we tried to reveal the length parameters and types of the forty scapulae in the anatomy laboratory, biological diversities were observed. This type of anthropometric studies needs to be performed in larger series, multicentrally and comparatively.

The advances in neuroimaging have improved clinicoanatomic correlations in patients with stroke. Junctional infarct is a distinct term, used to describe border zone infarcts of the posterior fossa. We presented computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a rare case of bilateral symmetrical junctional infarcts between the superior cerebellar artery (SCA) and posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) territories. In addition to precise knowledge of arterial territories required to achieve accurate localization of ischemic lesions on CT and MRI, the radiologist must also be aware of radiologic features and geographic territories of cerebellar arteries and their junctional infarctions.

Ankilozan spondilit (AS) yeni kemik oluşumu ile karakterize sistemik romatizmal bir hastalıktır. Spinal füzyon ile birlikte ilerleyici spinal fraktür riski artmaktadır. Ankilozan spondilitli spinal travmalı hastaların yönetimi sırasında çok dikkatli olunmalıdır. AS'li kaza yapmış hastada en sık karşılaşılan bulgu, lokal ağrıdır. Nonsteroid analjeziklere yanıt vermeyen travmalı ve AS'li hastalarda vertebra fraktürlerinden şüphelenmek gerekir. Omurga kırıkları genelde alt torakal ve üst lomber bölgede meydana gelir. Biz bu sunuda, ankilozan spondilitli spinal travmalı bir hastaya, uygulanan sıradışı enstrümantasyon işlemini literatür eşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık.Ankylosing spondylitis is a systemic rheumatic disease characterized by the formation of new bone. Increases the risk of progressive spinal fracture with spinal fusion. Patients who spinal trauma with ankylosing spondylitis during management must be taken. With a motor vehicle accident in the most common symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis patients, is local pain. Nonsteroidal analgesic do not respond to trauma and vertebral fractures in patients with ankylosing spondylitis should be suspected of. In this case, we aim which have applied an unusual instrumentation in a patients with trauma spinal vertebrae with ankylosing spondylitis Anahtar Kelimeler: Ankilozan spondilit, torakolomber travma, posterior enstrümantasyon.
