Abstract

The right lung is divided into three lobes names superior, middle, inferior by the oblique and the transverse (horizontal) fissures. The fissures in the lung assistance even expansion of lung tissue and serve as a reliable landmark on the lung. Occasionally, an extra fissure divides a lung or a fissure is absent. In the present case, which was during the routine cadaver dissection detected, we report absence of horizontal fissure of the right lung in a 60 year old male cadaver. The position of fissures of the lung is clinically important anatomic landmarks for surgeons performing lobectomy and segmentectomy, radiologists in interpreting the MRI and CT scans.

Özet

Sağ Akciğer oblik ve transvers (horizontal) fissürlerle superior, medial ve inferior olmak üzere 3 loba ayrılır. Bu fissürler akciğer dokusunun genişlemesine olanak tanır ve aynı zamanda akciğerler üzerinde güvenilir bir yer işareti hizmeti görür. Bazen ekstra bir fissür akciğeri bölebilir, bazen de bir fissürün yokluğu söz konusu olabilir. Biz bu yazıda rutin kadavra diseksiyonu esnasında saptadığımız 60 yaşında bir erkek kadavrada sağ akciğerde horizontal fissür yokluğunu bildirdik. Akciğerlerdeki fissürlerin pozisyonu MR ve BT görüntülemelerini yorumlamada radyologlar, lobektomi ve segmentektomi yapan cerrahlar için klinik olarak önemli anatomik işaretlerdir.
