The iliac fossa is a large, smooth, concave surface on the internal surface of the ilium (part of the three fused bones making the hip bone).

2023年10月30日 · The Iliac fossa is a large depression on the anteromedial aspect of the flat, fan-shaped upper part (ala or wing) of the iliac bone (ilium). It forms the posterolateral wall of the greater (false) pelvis. The iliac fossa is limited superiorly by the iliac crest and anteriorly by the anterior border of the ilium.

This review describes the findings and shows examples of conditions other than appendicitis that should be examined for in a patient who presents with right iliac fossa pain, particularly if the appendix is not seen or seen to be normal.

The iliac fossa is the smooth, large, concave area of the inner aspect of the ilium. It is one of the three surfaces of the ilium, the other two being the sacropelvic and gluteal surfaces, and is an area that is bounded: —anteriorly, by the anterior border of ilium; —posteriorly, by the medial border of ilium; —superiorly, by the iliac crest.

The iliac fossa is the concave inner surface of the ala of the ilium. Its boundaries include: Anteriorly → anterior border of the ilium. Superiorly → iliac crest. Posteriorly → medial border of the ilium, which separates the iliac fossa from the sacropelvic surface below.

2022年5月29日 · Inner surface – has a concave shape, which produces the iliac fossa (site of origin of the iliacus muscle). External surface (gluteal surface) – has a convex shape and provides attachments to the gluteal muscles. The superior margin of the wing is …

2024年8月11日 · Left iliac fossa pain is pain in the left side of the abdomen. It can be caused by many conditions such as gastroenteritis, constipation, and diverticulitis.

2022年3月14日 · The large concave surface located medially and in front of the wing of the ilium is called the iliac fossa. Its main purpose is to form the smooth walls at the back and sides of the greater pelvis. It is separated from the sacropelvic surface by the medial border.

2023年11月3日 · The iliacus muscle has a vast origin, the majority of it arising from the superior two-thirds of the iliac fossa. The rest arises from several other origin points, which are the inner lip of the iliac crest, the lateral aspect of the sacrum and anterior sacroiliac and iliolumbar ligaments.

The iliac fossa is a large, smooth, concave surface on the internal side of the ilium, one of the bones that forms the pelvis. It serves as an attachment site for the iliacus muscle, which plays a crucial role in hip flexion and movement.
