Study on morphological variations of cadaveric vermiform appendix and caecum in Narayan Medical College and Hospital. International Archives of Integrated Medicine. 2017 Oct; 4(10): 128-1322394-00262394-0034http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/186749Vermiform appendix is one of the most variable organs inside the abdomen. Unusual positions pose diagnostic and surgical challenges. The present study was conducted on 38 cadavers in Narayan Medical College and Hospital to find the morphological variations of vermiform appendix and caecum. It was seen that the most common position of appendix was retrocaecal (61%) while second most common position was pelvic (21%). Mean length of appendix was found to be 5.98 ± 1.67 cm. Mean outer girth was 2.87 ± 0.36 cm. Mean distance of Vermiform Appendix from ileocaecal junction was found to be 2.58 ± 0.46 cm. Adult type is the most common shape (71%) followed by exaggerated one (18%). Mean length of caecum was 7.61 ± 0.80 cm. and mean width being 8.49 ± 0.88 cm. Knowledge about morphological pattern of appendix and caecum is helpful in proper clinical management.Vermiform appendixCaecumMorphological variationAnatomyJournal ArticleIndiaAssociate Professor, Department of Anatomy, Gouri Devi Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Rajbandh, Durgapur, West Bengal, IndiaAssistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, Gouri Devi Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Rajbandh, Durgapur, West Bengal, IndiaFormer HOD and Professor, Department of Anatomy, Narayan Medical College and Hospital,Jamuhar, Sasaram, Bihar, India, mousummahanti@gmail.comProfessor and HOD, Department of Anatomy, Gouri Devi Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Rajbandh, Durgapur, West Bengal, India
