A Rare Anatomical Variation of Biceps Brachii Muscle -Clinical Importance
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Variations in insertion of biceps brachii muscle are very rare and not reported previously unlike variations in its origin. We have found biceps brachii muscle showed a rare anatomical variation unilaterally while inserting into radial tuberosity in a 60 year old male cadaver in Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College Palakkad. The aponeurosis part of biceps brachii replaced with muscle fibers and merged with fibers of Flexor carpi ulnaris muscle and lies superficial to the neurovascular bundle in cubital fossa.The variant muscular slips superficial to neurovascular bundle in our report may leads to nerve entrapment in cubital fossa.
