Sometimes the pancreas fails to develop normally and there may be congenital defects associated with the uncinate process. The uncinate process may split and encircle the duodenum, which is known as an annular pancreas. [3] There is also a common condition called pancreas divisum where the dorsal and ventral pancreas do not fuse properly.
Uncinate process of ethmoid bone, a process located in the nasal cavity; Uncinate process of vertebra, a hook-shaped process on the lateral borders (side edges) of the superior (top) surface of the vertebral bodies of the third to the seventh cervical vertebrae; Uncinate process of pancreas, a small projection from the pancreas; Uncinate ...
In anatomy, Luschka's joints (also called uncovertebral joints, neurocentral joints) [1] are formed between uncinate process or "uncus" below and uncovertebral articulation above. [2] They are located in the cervical region of the vertebral column from C3 to C7. [ 3 ]
The uncinate process can be attached to either the lateral nasal wall, on the lamina papyracea (50%), the anterior cranial fossa, on the ethmoidal roof (25%), or the middle concha (25%). The superior attachment of the uncinate process determines the drainage pattern of the frontal sinus.
CT scan of a man presenting with radiculopathy of the left cervical spinal nerve 7, corresponding to spondylosis with osteophytes between the vertebral bodies C6 and C7 on the left side, causing foraminal stenosis at this level (lower arrow, showing axial plane).
Autosomal recessive inheritance, where both copies of a gene contain mutations, is especially associated with C5-C6 fusion. [10] Another autosomal dominant form (mapped on locus 8q22.2), known as KFS with laryngeal malformation, has been identified. It is also known as segmentation syndrome 1. [12] [13]
The cervical spinal nerve 6 (C6) is a spinal nerve of the cervical segment. [1] It originates from the spinal column from above the cervical vertebra 6 (C6). The C6 nerve root shares a common branch from C5, and has a role in innervating many muscles of the rotator cuff and distal arm, [2] including: Subclavius; Supraspinatus; Infraspinatus ...
Uncinate, meaning "hooked," can have several meanings in anatomy. Uncinate process of pancreas; Uncinate process of ethmoid bone, close to nasal sinus
