Attachment angles of the diaphragm in the sagittal plane for male

Abstract

Individual spatial topography of the diaphragm is of great importance for understanding the organization of the body in a particular clinical case. For diagnostic and particularly therapeutic manipulation knowledge of the individual characteristics of each patient is required. This knowledge allows you to avoid damage to the internal organs of the abdominal and thoracic cavities when they puncture (catheterization) and more accurately determine the localization of the pathological process, choose the method further surgical or conservative treatment.Statistical analysis of the measurements revealed little correlation between the age and height of diaphragmatic cupolas in male. Other parameters were not correlated with the studied values (sex and type of body structure). Individual spatial topography of the diaphragm is highly variable and is practically independent of sex, age and type of body structure. In some cases (10%) in both sexes the height of the cupola of the diaphragm more on the left side than the right. Obtained data should be taken into account in the interpretation of X-ray research data and performing thoracentesis left.
