German term

Arteria lusoria als Normvariante

German to English Medical Medical: Cardiology Anatomie
Bericht uber einen Patienten mit Apoplexie, dieses Fragment beginnt den CT Angio-Bericht ueber die Karotiden.

Ich habe gefunden, dass die Arteria lusoria eine "aberrant right subclavian artery" ist, aber warum heisst es dann 'als Normvariante'? Oder Normvariante fuer diesen Patienten? Der naechste Satz ist 'Normvarianter Abgang der linken Arteria vertebralis aus dem Aortenbogen'.

Wie immer, sehr dankbar fuer Eure Hilfe!

Discussion

Stuart and Aida Nelson Oct 3, 2018:
Anatomical variants The term "normal anatomic variants" or just "normal variants" is often used interchangeably with "anatomical variants". Inclusion of the prefix 'normal' can create difficulty as it may imply that there is no pathological ramification of the variance in the anatomy present. It is probably better to AVOID USING NORMAL as a prefix.

https://radiopaedia.org/articles/anatomical-variants

During my research, the problem that I've encountered is that you do not really get good plausible links with 'normal variant' within this context. In addition, you tend to get mostly references related to ECG:

Electrocardiographic poor R wave progression III. The normal variant.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7365354

And as I said in my answer, the translation of Normvariente with 'normal variant' is not quite straightforward in the second part of the translation.

OK, thank you spielenschach1, now I understand!

Wikipedia: Mit dem zusammengesetzten Begriff Normvariante (englisch normal variant) wird in der Medizin alles das bezeichnet, was nicht üblicherweise, sondern lediglich bei einem kleineren Teil einer vergleichbaren Bevölkerungsgruppe auftritt. Das Wort setzt sich zusammen aus „Norm“ im Sinne eines vereinbarten oder festgelegten Standards (Normwert).

Arteria lusoria as an anomaly from the norm

The left aortic arch with an aberrant right subclavian artery, or arteria lusoria, is the most common aortic arch **anomaly**, occuring in 0.5–2.5% of individuals. Four vessels arise sequentially from the aortic arch: the right common carotid artery, the left common carotid artery, the left subclavian artery and the aberrant right subclavian artery, which crosses upwards and to the right in the posterior mediastinum

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000339280...

Aberrant subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) is a rare congenital **anomaly** that usually does not produce symptoms. Symptomatic patients require surgical intervention. The operative approach to correct this condition has been controversial. Herein, we describe surgical approaches to the aberrant right subclavian artery.

abnormal origin of the left vertebral artery from the aortic arch

As you see you can reduce 'Normvariante' to 'anomaly' or 'abnormal'

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks to everybody for this brilliant discussion! I think we all agree what an anomaly or an aberration is, but I think the answer to my question has more to do with syntax than anything else. I was completely thrown off by the juxtaposition of 'normal' and 'variant' - not having come across this term before I only understood what was meant when I read spielenschach1's answer/discussion contribution. But I agree with Stuart and Aida (and their first reference) that we should avoid 'normal' in English in this context, as it is more confusing than helpful. Thanks again to everybody!"

arteria lusoria as a normal variant

The arteria lusoria is an aberrant right subclavian artery that passes dorsally between the esophagus and spine after branching off from the aortic arch.- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001651070...

Intracranial arterial variants, of which there are many, are collectively common. Their clinical significance may be variable but knowledge and recognition of these variants is fundamental, especially if surgical or endovascular treatments (e.g. for acute stroke, aneurysms or other vascular pathologies) are being considered. - https://radiopaedia.org/articles/intracranial-arteries-varia...

neutral Stuart and Aida Nelson : Good research! My only reservation is that it is not quite straight forward to fit 'normal variant' in the second part of the translation and you don't really find plausible links in the UK for normal variant./// See discussion.

Reference:

Kein Widerspruch

Aberrant bedeutet "falsch verlaufend". Der Begriff bezeichnet die in der Anatomie gelegentlich vorkommenden Normvarianten von Gefäßen oder Organen, die verglichen mit einer durchschnittlichen Population eine untypische Lokalisation aufweisen (Aberration).

Auch die atypische Bildung oder Form anatomischer Strukturen wird als aberrant bezeichnet.
