Abstract

Abstract:

Objective　To provide morphological basis of the thalamus and thalamus-related structures for imaging diagnosis. Methods Totally 30 adult head specimens were used to make serial transverse sections along canthomeatal 1ine (CML), with the thickness of 5 mm. The three continuous sections involving thalamus and its relative structures were observed and statistically analyzed. Results After adjusting cerebral volume, the area, sagittal and transverse diameters of bilateral thalamus had no gender difference. Negative correlation appeared among thalamus area, caudate nucleus head area, and the transverse diameter of the caudate nucleus head(P＜0.05). The transverse diameter of the thalamus and the area of the caudate nucleus head, as well as the sagittal diameter of the caudate nucleus head was negatively related (P<0.05). The length and width of the thalamus and the telencephalon were positively related, respectively (P<0.05). The distance between right trigone of the lateral ventricle and anterior horns was significantly related with the length of the thalamus (P<0.05). Conclusions Anatomic parameters of the thalamus and thalamus-related structures have linear relationships. The data of thalamus-related structures can provide information for exploring the features of thalamus.
