| description | Biceps brachii is a flexor muscle of arm which frequently
shows variations. Biceps has been recognised with a
maximum number of seven heads. In forearm, flexor
digitorum superficialis and palmaris longus show frequent
variations. We have come across two additional muscles:
one in arm and one in forearm. During routing dissection
we observed an additional muscle belly in between biceps
brachii and brachialis in left arm and an extra muscle in
forearm of same side. This extra muscle in forearm was
close to Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (FCU). An additional muscle
in arm took origin just below the coracobrachialis whereas,
an extra muscle in forearm was originating from medial
epicondyle. After careful examination, we concluded these
muscles as third head of biceps brachii and digastrics
FCU, a rare muscle in arm and forearm respectively.
Digastric FCU can be utilised for tendon transfer, tendon
lengthening in the patients with paralytic disorders. |
