    Notes: Abstract The gastrocolic v. or Henle’s gastrocolic trunk was described in 1868 [9]. We suggest defining this vein as the confluence of the right gastroepiploic and right upper colic vv. We report two original cases of avulsion of the gastrocolic v. occurring during a blunt abdominal trauma. The aim of this paper is a description, based on the literature, of the anatomy of the gastrocolic v. in order to precise the lesional mechanism. The gastrocolic v. is present in 70% of individuals. It is short (less than 25 mm) but of major calibre (3 to 10 mm). The gastrocolic v. is situated close beneath the root of the transverse mesocolon, and travels along the anterior surface of the head of the pancreas. Anatomic variations are detailed and a meta-analysis of interpretable studies was made. Both the supra- and infra-mesocolic surgical approaches are described. The radiologic and surgical importance of the gastrocolic v. is discussed. The lesional mechanism in both our cases of injury of the gastrocolic v. is explained.

    Notes: Abstract The spinal dorsal horn is known for its important functional role in the field of transmission and modulation of sensory afferents. Because of this, the dorsal horn represents a target for numerous analgesic and antispastic procedures. Thus, it would be interesting to develop imaging dedicated to this spinal structure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the radiologic anatomy of the cervical dorsal horn by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (1.5T). The first step consisted in the validation of the anatomic information provided by MRI on 5 human cadavers. A spin-echo sequence (T2, 2000/45) enabled the demonstration of good correlations between histologic sections and axial MRI slices performed at the corresponding cervical levels. The second step was the 〈〈in vivo〈〈 exploration of 20 subjects, aiming at the development of a gradient echo sequence (T2*) with a conventional MRI unit, compatible with a routine clinical examination. The dorsal horn was clearly identified in 77% of the axial slices performed (n = 300). The angle between the dorsal horn axis and the sagittal plane was measured as from 25.5˚ at C2 to 40˚ at C8 segments. The results of this anatomico-radiologic study of the cervical dorsal horn suggest that preoperative MRI could be useful to design the surgical approach to this structure, as performed during cervical microsurgical drezotomy (DREZ = dorsal root entry zone) for the treatment of selected cases of chronic pain or disabling spasticity in the upper limbs.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La description de la v. gastrocolique (vena gastrocolica) ou tronc gastro-colique de Henle remonte à 1868. Nous proposons de définir la v. gastrocolique comme résultant de la confluence de la v. gastro-épiploïque droite et de la v. colique supérieure droite. Nous rapportons deux observations originales d'arrachement de la v. gastro-colique au cours d'un traumatisme fermé de l'abdomen. Le but de ce travail est de décrire, à partir d'une revue de la littérature, l'anatomie de la v. gastrocolique afin de préciser le mécanisme lésionnel. La v. gastrocolique existe chez 70% des individus, c'est une veine courte (moins de 25 mm) et de calibre important (3 à 10 mm). La v. gastro-colique est située immédiatement en dessous de la racine du mésocolon transverse, et longe la face antérieure de la tête du pancréas. Les variations anatomiques sont détaillées et une méta-analyse des études interprétables a été réalisée. Les deux voies d'abord chirurgicales sus- et sous-mésocoliques sont décrites. L'intérêt radiologiqut et chirurgical de la v. gastro-colique est discuté. Le mécanisme lésionnel dans les deux observations de lésions traumatiques de la v. gastrocolique est expliqué.
