Introduction:An accessory fissure in the lung is an anatomical variation of variable depth, lined by visceral pleura, and typically corresponds to the boundaries between bronchopulmonary segments. There are three commonly observed types of accessory fissures in the lungs: the Superior Accessory Fissure (SAF), Inferior Accessory Fissure (IAF), and Left Minor Fissure (LMF).
Aim & Objectives: To study morphological anatomy of accessory fissures in human cadaveric lungs.
Material & Methods:The study examined 35 pairs of human cadaver lungs (35 right and 35 left), obtained from the Department of Anatomy at Santosh Medical College & Hospital, Ghaziabad, NCR Delhi.
Results: The SAF was not present in any of the right lungs but was identified in 2.86% of the left lung specimens among the 35 pairs examined.IAF (inferior accessory fissure) were 5.71% found in right lung and 11.43% found in left lung 35 pair of specimens.LMF (left minor fissure) were 2.86% found in right lung and 25.71% found in left lung of 35 pair of specimens.
Conclusion: Understanding the frequency of specific fissure variants in a population can assist radiologists and clinicians in making precise diagnoses.
