[The venous vascularization of the pancreas].

The venous vascularisation of the pancreas has been studied in the West African on 157 pieces, by the method of injection-corrosion. The polymeric plastic used for this operation was Rhodopas A X 85.15. The results are quite comparable to those reported in Couppie's thesis (Lyon, 1957) on the European. The venous drainage of the head of the pancreas is secured by four arches: anterior, posterior, inferior and intra-glandular, formed by three pancreatico-duodenal veins (inferior-anterior, superior-posterior, inferior-posterior). Three other venous trunks, independant from that system, and which are not reported in the former descriptions, participate in the formation of secondary, inconstant new arches. For the body and the tail of the pancreas, the disposition in two types described by Calas was found, but with an inverted respective percentage. The lower pancreatic vein was often demonstrated with particular clearness. For the neck of the pancreas, the venous vascularisation is secured by the isthmic veins, sometimes linked in a pre-glandular arch.

[The division of the intra-parotid facial nerve. Morphologic and anthropometric study (128 dissections)].

The division of the facial nerve in the West African has been studied on 128 dissections. The point of division and the distribution into "morphological types" are fairly identical to those established in subjects of the white race, with two special features: 80% of the nerves divide above the middle of the Tragion-gonion line. 25% of the nerves are of a "triforked" morphological type. The variations of the cephalic index are in close connection with those of the angle of division of the nerve (brachycephalic: average angle 95 degrees; mesocephalic: 107 degrees; dolichocephalic: 125 degrees). On the other hand, the study of the morphological and physiognomical facial indexes does not show any definitive correlation as regards the place of division and the number of secondary branches.
