P53 in renal cell carcinoma : a biomarker for diseaseprogression

الملخص EN

Background : the temporal fascia has not been studied properly yet.

Most Anatomy textbooks & literatures describe this fascia as being formed of two layers.

In this study, careful dissection of this fascia was performed to prove or disprove this view.

Methods : the temporal fascia of five male cadavers were dissected, layers separated, identified & photographed.

Results : the temporal fascia was found to be formed of four layers rather than two as it is believed to be.

Conclusion : this finding may alter the view to this important structure both anatomically & clinically as it is widely used clinically.
