The SCIA takes off from superficial femoral artery or from a common trunk with the superficial inferior epigastric artery and runs
superolateral toward the anterior superior iliac spine.
A vastus notch (VN) is an indentation observed in the
superolateral angle of the patella.
Looking at the side of the breast involved in our group of patients, we recorded that left side was involved in 97 (58.8%) of patients and 54 (32.7%) of patients had breast lump in the
superolateral quadrant (Table 1).
The MFB, specifically the
superolateral branch, is emerging as an exciting new target for electrode placement in DBS.
In inferior location tumors superior pedicle, in lateral locations superomedial pedicle, in uppermedial locations
superolateral pedicle was used.
For the lateral orbital tumor, we approached the tumor from a horizontal skin incision of the lateral canthus; for the
superolateral tumor, we chose S-shaped skin incision, which included inferior margin of the eyebrow and lateral canthus; for the inferolateral tumor, we approached the tumor from a skin incision of the lateral canthus which extended to the lower eyelid margin.
Although early investigations revealed that the flattest portion of the anterior surface was consistently in the
superolateral quadrant, the pegs were too close together in this region to provide good stability; furthermore, after analysis, it was discovered that focusing the pegs in this region did not provide a symmetric resection.
Advanced imaging with a magnetic resonance arthrogram was available for review at the initial visit and demonstrated a pedunculated intra-articular mass in the
superolateral aspect of the joint, near the femoral head-neck junction (Figure 1).
The shape of fuel tank wedges the groin area, forcibly displacing each testis into
superolateral direction [8, 11].
CT scan showed soft tissue lesion in extraconal aspect of orbit in
superolateral region.
Vertebral artery (VA) arises from the
superolateral aspect of 1st part of the subclavian artery and takes a vertical posterior course to enter the foramina transversaria of 6th cervical vertebrae.
Bipartite patella with an accessory ossification center at the
superolateral pole, the insertion site of the vastus lateralis, is a rare congenital anomaly.
