Abstract:Purpose: Anterior compartment muscles of the arm present high morphological variability, with possible clinical significance. The current cadaveric report aims to describe a bilateral four-headed brachialis muscle (BM) with aberrant innervation. Analysis of the embryological background and possible clinical significance of the BM variant is also provided.
Methods: Classical dissection of the upper limb was performed on an 84-year-old donated male cadaver. The cadaver belonged to the Anatomy Department of the N… Show more
