SUPERNUMERARY HEADS OF BICEPS BRACHII WITH MEDIAN NERVE AND BRACHIAL VESSELS PASSING THROUGH THE THIRD HEAD
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
A rare case of four-headed biceps brachii was observed during routine dissection on 60-year -old female old cadaver. The short head and long head had normal origin. The third head was originating from the humerus below the insertion of coracobrachialis, whereas fourth head was coming from the greater tubercle of the humerus. The median nerve and brachial vessels were passing through the third head. These variations are important because they could compress median nerve and brachial vessels.
