Bilateral Agenesis of Palmaris Longus –A Case Report and its Clinical Significance
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
ABSTRACT Palmaris longus arises from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and continues as long tendon to get inserted in the apex of flexor retinaculum. The variations of the palmaris longus are common in terms of muscle bellies with additional heads or reversed or absent. This case study shows absent palmaris longus on both sides of the forearm in the cadaver during routine dissection. The agenesis of palmaris longus can be explained due to abnormal division of superficial mass of forearm muscles. The knowledge about this variation is important in terms of reconstructive surgeries utilizing palmaris longus muscle grafts.
